Citrus canker is a disease that causes small, round, raised lesions on citrus leaves, twigs, fruit, and thorns. The lesions are yellow-brown in color and become rough and corky over time. If left uncontrolled, the disease can cause defoliation and reduce fruit prices due to skin blemishes. Control measures include removing infected plant material and treating with antibiotics, as the disease spreads year-round but is most active during rainy seasons.
