- Area of employment Phytopathology Kit
Guignardia citricarca is a fungus that causes citrus black spot, a devastating disease that significantly reduces citrus production by promoting premature fruit drop.
Furthermore, the unsightly lesions make them unmarketable.
Symptoms on the fruit include lesions of varying sizes, from small black spots to large lesions that reach the pulp. G. citricarpa can attack all species of the Citrus genus; some species are more susceptible to the fungus than others (lemon, orange), but to date, no resistant plants have been identified.
The disease is present in Asia, Africa, America and Oceania, while it has never been observed in Europe.
However, it is the object of particular attention as numerous interceptions of infected plant material have been reported at the borders and for this reason Guignardia citricarpa is included in the A1: 194 list of the EPPO (European and Mediterranean Plant Protection organization).
