DESCRIPTION
WHO CAUSES IT?
Monilinia spp. It is a genus of phytopathogenic fungi that affects apple trees, causing the disease known as monilia, brown rot or brown rot. These fungi develop in high humidity conditions and spread through spores, which can infect flowers, fruits and branches. Spores can survive on plant lesions and fallen fruits, serving as a source of infection for new seasons.
SYMPTOMS
Brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. It causes the decomposition of the flowers, fruits and branches of apple trees. Symptoms include brown Taches on the fruits, which expand rapidly, and the appearance of ring-shaped sporulation on the infected areas.
• Brown Taches on flowers, fruits and branches.
• Appearance of sporulation in the form of rings on the infected areas.
• Rapid decomposition of fruits.
• Premature fall of fruits and flowers.
• Reduction in the quality and quantity of the harvest.

HOW IS IT SPREAD?
Spores carried by the wind, direct contact with infected plants, insects, contaminated irrigation water, fallen fruits.

• Carry out pruning and elimination of affected parts to prevent spread.
• Avoid the accumulation of fallen fruits and plant residues around the trees.
• Improve air circulation between trees to reduce humidity.
• Apply specific fungicides during critical moments of development.
• Use varieties resistant or tolerant to Monilinia spp..
• Control insect pests that can damage fruits and spread the fungus.
• Monitor regularly to detect early infections.
