Peronosclerospora sorghi is a plant pathogen. It is the causal operator of sorghum fleece mold. The pathogen is a parasitic like protist in the oomycota, or water shape, class. Peronosclerospora sorghi contaminates powerless plants however sexual oospores, which get by in the dirt, and abiogenetic sporangia which are dispersed by wind. Manifestations of sorghum wool mold incorporate chlorosis, destroying of leaves, and passing. Peronosclerospora sorghi contaminates maize and sorghum around the globe, yet purposes the most extreme yield decreases in Africa. The sickness is controlled principally through hereditary obstruction, compound control, crop pivot, and key planning of planting.

Peronosclerospora sorghi has a wide host extend, especially plants in the sorghum family. These host plants incorporate Sorghum bicolor, or sorghum, Sorghum sudanense, or Sudan grass, and Sorghum palepense, or Johnsongrass. Its hosts likewise incorporate Pinnisetum glaucum, or pearl millet, and Zea mays, or maize. At the point when maize plants are tainted as seedlings, the main side effect to show up is chlorosis of the leaves. As the plant develops, it frequently shows hindering, and necrotic injuries start to shape on the leaves. As the leaves keep on growing, a white, fleece development may create in the necrotic sores, particularly on the underside of the leaves. This wool development is the after effect of the creation of conidia and conidiophores under the best possible natural conditions.
