WHO CAUSES IT?
Gummosis, caused mainly by species of the genus Phytophthora, is a fungal disease that affects a variety of plants, including ornamental and garden plants. This pathogen can cause significant damage to crops, compromising both the health of the trees and fruit production. Phytophthora sp. It develops in soils with high levels of humidity and can survive for long periods in adverse conditions, making its control and eradication difficult.
SYMPTOMS
In ornamental and garden plants, gummosis initially manifests itself through the presence of gummy exudates on the trunk and branches of the plant. These exudates can be seen as dark, sticky Taches that eventually dry out and form scabs. As the disease progresses, there is a general weakening of the plant, manifested by loss of vigor, wilting and eventual death of the affected specimen.

Recommendations
To prevent and control gummosis in ornamental and garden plants, it is recommended to implement integrated pest management measures. This includes using proper agronomic practices such as proper soil drainage to reduce excessive moisture, selecting hardy plants, proper pruning to improve air circulation, and preventative application of fungicides as needed.
