Descrição da doença
Fusarium sp. It is a genus of fungi that includes numerous species pathogenic for a wide variety of plants. In avocado, Fusarium sp. It causes the disease known as fusarium wilt. This fungus can survive in the soil and in plant remains such as chlamydospores, which are structures resistant to adverse conditions. When conditions are favorable, chlamydospores germinate and produce mycelium, which colonizes plant roots through wounds or natural openings. Once inside, the fungus spreads through the vascular system, clogging the vessels and producing toxins that interfere with the transport of water and nutrients. Fusarium sp. It also produces asexual spores called conidia, which are spread by wind, water, and through contaminated growing tools. Sexual reproduction is less common, but can occur under certain environmental conditions, contributing to the genetic diversity and adaptive capacity of the pathogen.

Descrição do patógeno
Fusarium wilt in avocado is a disease that mainly affects the vascular system of the plant, resulting in a deficiency in the transport of water and nutrients. The fungus invades the roots and spreads through the xylem, causing wilting and eventually death of affected plants.
- Withering of leaves and branches
- Yellowing and premature leaf fall
- Necrotic lesions on roots and stems
- Vascular discoloration (brown streaks in the xylem)
- Reduction in plant growth and vigor
- Death of the plant in severe cases

Recomendações
- Use Fusarium-resistant avocado varieties.
- Implement crop rotation to reduce the accumulation of Fusarium in the soil.
- Avoid the use of contaminated soils and guarantee good drainage to prevent favorable conditions for the fungus.
- Disinfect pruning and cultivation tools to prevent the spread of the fungus.
- Apply specific fungicides preventively, especially in areas with a history of the disease.
- Perform soil analysis and apply organic amendments that promote soil health and microbial competition.
- Regularly monitor crops for early symptoms and remove affected plants to prevent spread.
