Brazil is the world leader in both orange production and export of concentrated juice. However, a significant volume of orange production has been lost every season due to the attack of diseases, mainly those related to the premature fruit drop. In the citrus belt of São Paulo state (SP), which accounts for 73% of the orange produced in Brazil, the average rate of premature fruit drop rea…
In citrus-growing areas of Brazil, the conidia and ascospores produced by Phyllosticta citricarpa, causal agent of Citrus Black Spot (CBS), is epidemiologically important. Monitoring and quantification of P. citricarpa inoculum have been performed with spore traps, which do not capture conidia. In South Africa, the susceptibility period of sweet orange fruit to P. citricarpa infection has…
Citrus black spot (CBS) caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa is the main fungal disease in important citrus growing areas, such as Brazil and South Africa. The fruit susceptibility period to infection by Phyllosticta citricarpa has been reported as variable in different areas of the Southern Hemisphere; however, there is no a consensus on this subject. A field trial "Susceptibility of sweet …
