Blight
Blight is a rapid and complete chlorosis, browning, then death of plant tissues such as leaves, branches, twigs, or floral organs. Accordingly, many diseases that primarily exhibit this symptom are called blights. Several notable examples are:
Trstenik, Dubrovnik-Neretva County
Trstenik's historical facts are connected closely to the European Phylloxera vine event.
The 'Great French Wine Blight' was a severe blight of the mid-19th century that destroyed many of the vineyards in France
and laid to waste the wine industry. The transfer of American vines and plants into Europe greatly increased
between roughly 1858 and 1862, and this is how the Phylloxera was accidentally introduced to Europe around 1860.
It is believed that the introduction of the blight-causing Phylloxera was not a problem before the advent of steamships,
which were faster and hence allowed the Phylloxera to survive the quicker ocean voyage.
