“…This observation was most likely because the incidence of pepper spot was, on average, lower on the inside of the tree. Inside fruits were shaded and less sunburnt, which can exacerbate pepper spot (Willingham et al 2000). Thus, larger treatment differences were evident.…”

Abstract. Differences in tree vigour as a result of feeder root destruction by Phytophthora cinnamomi were found to significantly (P < 0.05) influence disease susceptibility, fruit ripening rates and fruit size of 'Hass' avocado. Fruits from root rot-affected, non-vigorous trees had less anthracnose and took longer to ripen. However, they were probably unmarketable due to their small fruit size compared with fruits from healthy vigorous trees. Fruits from non-vigorous trees also had less pepper spot than vigorous trees, but only on the inside of the tree canopy. The increased disease resistance of fruits from non-vigorous trees was related to a 40% increase in the concentration of Ca in the fruit flesh.A P 0 3 0 7 9 T r e e v i g o u r i n f l u e n c e s a v o c a d o f r u i t d i s e a s e s S .

“…In this paper, the effect of tree vigour on fruit susceptibility to postharvest diseases and pepper spot in 'Hass' avocado was investigated. Pepper spot is a newly described preharvest disease that is also caused by C. gloeosporioides (Willingham et al 2000).…”
