TLDR
The importance of understanding the interaction of plant pathogens with their avocado host in order for the development of disease management options is discussed.Abstract:
This chapter provides an in-depth review of important diseases affecting avocado production throughout the world. The importance of understanding the interaction of plant pathogens with their avocado host in order for the development of disease management options is also discussed.read more

Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the severity of phytophthora root rot disease in avocado trees using image analysis
Arachchige Surantha Ashan Salgadoe,Andrew Robson,David Lamb,Elizabeth K. Dann,Christopher Searle +4 more
TL;DR: This study evaluates two image analysis methods that may serve as surrogates to the visual assessment of canopy decline in large avocado orchards and finds canopy porosity values derived from RGB images were found to be significantly different for most disease rankings.

Biochar increases soil organic carbon, avocado yields and economic return over 4 years of cultivation.
Stephen Joseph,Doug Pow,Kathy Dawson,Joshua Rust,Paul Munroe,Sarasadat Taherymoosavi,David R. G. Mitchell,Samuel Robb,Zakaria M. Solaiman +8 more
TL;DR: There was an overall increase in soil carbon, fruit yield, tree diameter and height in all biochar treatments relative to the control over the seasons and a cost-benefit analysis indicated that if yield surplus of fruit trees continued for three years, then the discounted net benefit over a hectare would amount to US$8581.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of different concentrations of bio-organic fertilizer on cucumber Fusarium wilt and soil microflora alterations.
TL;DR: A high concentration of bio-organic fertilizer application suppressed the Fusarium wilt disease and increased cucumber production after continuous cropping might through improving soil chemical condition and manipulating the composition of soil microbial community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antagonistic yeasts with potential to control Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. and Colletotrichum acutatum J.H. Simmonds on avocado fruits
A. Campos-Martínez,M. G. Velázquez-del Valle,H. E. Flores-Moctezuma,Ramón Suárez-Rodríguez,José Augusto Ramírez-Trujillo,A. N. Hernández-Lauzardo +5 more
TL;DR: This is the first report on the antagonistic activity of W. anomalus or C. intermedia against Colletotrichum acutatum, a potential natural alternative for controlling anthracnose infection and associated loss in avocado crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colletotrichum fructicola, a Member of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides sensu lato, is the Causal Agent of Anthracnose and Soft Rot in Avocado Fruits cv. “Hass”
Dionicio Fuentes-Aragón,Sandra B. Juárez-Vázquez,Mateo Vargas-Hernández,Hilda Victoria Silva-Rojas +3 more
TL;DR: Disease management programs to reduce the incidence of anthracnose should include C. fructicola to determine its response to fungicides that are routinely applied, considering that the appearance of new species is affecting the commercial quality of the fruits and shifting the original population structure.
