We need a more detailed description of the disease in order to map this trait.
Please provide a causal agent and also note the typo in the existing def'n.

Definition: Balck mould

@cooperl09 the variable has this caused by green mites https://cassavabase.org/cvterm/76952/view

I'll add this to the parent trait and fix the typo

Thanks Naama, the variable description lists green mite, aphid, and whitefly as agents, but no information on the fungal species. The insects feed on the sap (honeydew) in the leaves, which introduces the fungal pathogens.

@cooperl09 I can't find the record of who created the trait. We have a couple of trials with associated phenotypes so I can see with breeding program if they can shed some light https://cassavabase.org/breeders/trial/11646
