Didymella bryoniae, also known by the synonym Mycosphaerella melonis, is an ascomycete fungal plant pathogen that causes gummy stem blight in the Cucurbitaceae family, including cantaloupe, cucumber, muskmelon and watermelon. Its asexual stage is called Phoma cucurbitacearum, and when the pathogen infects the fruit of cucurbits rather than the stem the resulting disease is called black rot.

Caused By Agent Kind
Entity-backed identity for the agent-kind enum value this pest or disease already carries, resolved to an agriculture concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The agent-kind fact itself stays on the pest or disease unchanged.
