Özet

White goosefoot (Chenopodium album) is a common weed being most frequent in several crops. In April 2018, typical symptoms of downy mildew disease were observed on the leaf surface of C. album in pea fields inspected in Hatay province of Turkey. Based on morphological characteristics, molecular sequencing and pathogenicity test, the pathogen was identified as Peronospora variabilis. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed report of downy mildew caused by P. variabilis on C. album in Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey.
