DESCRIPTION

WHO CAUSES IT?

Olive repilo, caused by the fungus of the species Spilocaea oleagina, is a devastating disease that affects olive trees in numerous regions dedicated to the production of olive oil.

SYMPTOMS

This pathogen manifests itself mainly in the leaves of trees, but can also spread to the fruits, severely compromising the health and productivity of the crop. The characteristic Taches, from dark brown to black tones, appear on the leaves, giving their surface an oily or wet appearance. The progression of the disease can lead to premature defoliation and a significant decrease in olive production, representing a constant threat to the olive industry.
