Question

is amaranthus cruentus a parasite??​

Answer 1

borer: larva living internally, almost no outwards signs

down: 0.5-2 mm high fungal down

film: very thin cover of fungal tussue

gall: swelling and/or malformation

grazer: feeding at the outside of the plant

leaf spot discoloured, often ± necrotic, generally not galled, sign of a fungus infection

miner-borer: larve initially makes a mine, lives as a borer later

pustule: plug of fungal tissue, generally brown-black and < 2 mm

stripe: longitudinal line of fungal tissue in a grass leaf

vagrant: (aphids, mites) living freely on the plant, at higher densitiy causing malformations.

Hope it's helpful dear........
