What is another word for pink disease?
Pronunciation: [pˈɪŋk dɪzˈiːz] (IPA) 
Pink disease is a bacterial infection that affects citrus trees. The disease causes discoloration and eventually death of the plant. There are several synonyms for pink disease, including gummosis and citrus canker. Gummosis refers to the sticky gum-like substance that the infected tree produces as the disease progresses. Citrus canker, on the other hand, results in lesions and blister-like protrusions on the tree's leaves, stems, and fruit. Other synonyms for pink disease include melanose and greasy spot. Regardless of the name used, citrus farmers and horticulturists must remain vigilant to protect their trees from this destructive disease.
