WHO CAUSES IT?
Anthracnose, caused by several fungi of the genus Colletotrichum spp., is a fungal disease that affects a wide range of plants, including citrus. These fungi are common pathogens that can survive on infected crop residues and spores present in soil, infected plants, and plant debris. They are known for their ability to cause necrotic Taches on fruits, leaves and stems, leading to tissue decomposition and, in severe cases, crop loss.
SYMPTOMS
Anthracnose in citrus is manifested by the presence of dark, sunken Taches on fruits, which may begin as small brown or black lesions and then expand rapidly as the infection progresses. These Taches are usually surrounded by a yellowish or orange halo on the skin of the fruit. Additionally, leaves and stems can also be affected, showing necrotic lesions that can eventually cause defoliation and decreased fruit production.

Recommendations
To prevent and control anthracnose in citrus, it is crucial to implement integrated disease management practices. This includes proper pruning to promote air circulation, weed control to reduce competition for light and water, removal of infected fruit, and timely application of preventive fungicides during periods of high humidity and temperatures favorable for the disease. .
