WHO CAUSES IT?
Septoria piricola is a pathogenic fungus that mainly affects pome fruit trees. This pathogen survives the winter in infected plant debris and fallen leaves on the ground. With the arrival of spring, the reproductive structures of the fungus produce spores that are released into the environment and transported by wind and water to the green parts of the plants. Spores germinate in the presence of moisture, invading leaf tissues and causing infections. During the growing season, the fungus can produce several generations of spores, each capable of initiating new infections, contributing to the spread of the disease. The cycle of infection and reproduction of the fungus is perpetuated as long as environmental conditions are favorable, particularly in humid and temperate climates.
SYMPTOMS
Septoria, caused by Septoria piricola, significantly affects the health and productivity of pome fruit trees. The disease manifests itself mainly on the leaves, causing lesions that compromise the photosynthetic capacity of the plant. The infection begins with the appearance of small brown Taches that expand and coalesce, forming larger necrotic areas. These Taches can develop on leaves, stems and occasionally fruits, weakening the plant and reducing its yield.
- Brown or black Taches on the leaves.
- Premature fall of affected leaves.
- Necrotic lesions on young stems.
- Reduction in fruit production.
- Dark Taches on fruits, affecting their quality.
- Decrease in the general vigor of the plant.

Recommendations
- Carry out sanitary pruning to eliminate and destroy infected plant remains.
- Maintain an adequate distance between plants to improve air circulation and reduce humidity.
- Apply specific fungicides during critical growth phases, following technical recommendations.
- Use pome fruit varieties resistant to septoria.
- Implement an irrigation system that minimizes moisture on the leaves, such as drip irrigation.
- Rotate crops and avoid continuous planting of pome fruit trees in the same area.
- Regularly inspect the plantations to detect and treat any signs of infection early.
- Keep the soil well drained to avoid moisture accumulation.
- Apply organic fertilizers and balanced fertilizers to strengthen the resistance of plants.
- Place sticky traps and physical barriers to reduce the spread of spores.
