Symptom s of powdery scab include small lesion s in the early stages of the disease , progressing to raised pustule s containing a powdery mass. Powdery scab has a cosmetic effect on tubers, which can result in rejection of potatoes. The powdery pustules contain resting spores, which release anisokont zoospore s which can infect the root hairs of potatoes or tomatoes.
