WHO CAUSES IT?
Xylella fastidiosa is a phytopathogenic bacteria that affects a variety of plants, including the olive tree. This bacteria spreads mainly through insect vectors such as leafhoppers, which feed on plant sap and can transmit the bacteria from one plant to another. Once in the plant, Xylella fastidiosa colonizes the vascular system, blocking the vessels that conduct water and nutrients. This leads to the appearance of water stress symptoms and can ultimately cause plant death.
