WHO CAUSES IT?

Penicillium sp. It is a fungus that belongs to the genus Penicillium, known for its ability to produce asexual spores called conidia. This pathogen reproduces by forming conidiophores, which are specialized structures that produce and release conidia into the air. Conidia are dispersed by wind, water and other vectors, and germinate under favorable conditions of humidity and temperature. When conidia find a suitable surface, such as garlic tissue, they germinate and produce hyphae that invade and decompose the plant tissue. Penicillium sp. It can survive in soil and in infected plant remains, and is capable of infecting both in the field and during garlic storage.
