Cercospora sp. is a genus of phytopathogenic fungi widely distributed in temperate and tropical climates, responsible for various foliar diseases in a wide range of plants. These fungi are anamorphic, which means that their asexual reproduction is predominant, through the production of elongated conidia that emerge from structures called conidiophores. These structures form on the surface of infected leaves, mainly under conditions of high humidity. Conidia are easily dispersed by wind, rain splashes, or contaminated tools. Once deposited on the leaf surface, they germinate quickly if there is the presence of free water and adequate temperatures. The fungus penetrates through stomata or microwounds, colonizing intercellular tissues and destroying cells through the production of toxins and enzymes. Later, when conditions remain favorable, the fungus returns to fruit on the lesions, producing new conidial structures that perpetuate the process. In addition, it can survive between crop cycles in infected plant remains, from where it initiates new infections at the beginning of the following season.
