| | The Noni Website - Pests and Diseases - Noni Sooty Mold |
| | Organism: Sooty mold is caused by a ubiquitous, airborne fungus that lands on the noni leaves and uses the sugary exudates produced by sap-feeding insects as a food source. | | | The sooty mold condition is associated with sap-feeding insects such as aphids and scales. | | | Thus, the presence of high populations of sap-feeding insects is necessary for the formation of sooty mold. |

| | Outbreak of Leaf Mold on Field-Grown Tomatoes |
| | Leaf mold is usually considered to be a disease of greenhouse tomatoes, which appears only rarely in the field. | | | Alternatively, it's possible that the pathogen had overwintered in or near the field on infested debris created during a previous growing season, then spread onto the 1994 crop after transplanting. | | | To infect tomato plants and spread in the field, the fungus requires very high humidity - in excess of 85% - for prolonged periods. |

| | Leaf mold is another way to build your soil by John Fuchs Issue 41 |
| | Studies have shown that leaf mold holds at least five times as much moisture as ordinary topsoil, so I always apply it to my flower beds instead of peat moss. | | | While it doesn’t provide as much nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium as manure, it is rich in calcium and magnesium, which are essential for healthy vegetables. | | | Best of all, the raw materials of leaf mold—leaves—are abundant in much of North America. |

| | Leaf flecking (often extensive) is occurring in the top foliage of many crops that have significant blue mold in the lower canopy. | | | Such actions are likely to result in serious leaf loss from houseburn, because such leaves are full of water and higher in simple sugars that serve as easy food for the rotting organisms compared to mature leaves. | | | As the leaves mature, their tolerance to blue mold increases unless the crops are over-fertilized with nitrogen late in the season. |

| | 10-29-00 Save Those Fallen Leaves and Make "Leaf Mold" |
| | Troops of gardeners with wheelbarrows may have harvested it from the woods as part of their garden work. | | | The benefits of using it in a garden are essentially similar to the benefits of composted garden residues or commercial compost made from "clean green." Leaf mold will help soil hold water, and will improve soil structure. | | | You could create leaf mold by piling fallen leaves in a bin or wire enclosure, wetting them thoroughly, and covering the pile. |

| | Slime molds may be found on all cultivated and weedy grasses. | | | Plant vigor may be slightly reduced in severely colonized turf due to excessive growth of the fungus on leaves causing a shading of the leaf surface and leading to a reduction in photosynthesis. | | | In the case of heavy spore production, some yellowing or chlorosis of the leaves may be observed due to shading of the turf causing reduced photosynthesis. |

| | Composted leaves are called "leaf mold." When added to soil - at the rate of one part leaf mold to two parts soil - leaf mold helps the soil to drain more freely and helps plants to better utilize water and nutrients. | | | As long as you're collecting leaves, however, you may as well "harvest" them for the compost pile - providing that you have a place for them. | | | Even so, it does impart some fertility when it's added to soil. |

| | Paghat's Garden: Leaf Mold |
| | Leaves break down through the winter into leaf mold for spring, one of the healthiest & best soil-toppings that can ever be had. | | | But leaf mold does not completely replace the need for other enrichments, again because of being low in nitrogen. | | | Unlike bark or shavings which break down slowly (or never breaks down if there is no nitrogen mixed with it), leaves break down into natural leaf mold very readily merely by being in contact with the ground, because the healthful organisms in the soil immediately recognize autumn leaves & begin breaking down. |

| | While not high in nutrient content, leaf mold is an excellent bulky and fibrous soil conditioner. | | | Due to the slow decaying nature of their lignin (cellulose) content, autumn leaves break down far more slowly than most other compost ingredients, and therefore should be composted separately. | | | Leaf mould is a form of compost produced by the breakdown of shrub and tree leaves. |
