“…Edible fig ( Ficus carica ) has a high commercial value in Iran, one of the world's major fig producers. Fig cankers represent a constant and significant challenge to plantations in Iran (Mostowfizadeh‐Ghalamfarsa et al., 2022). Symptoms include lesions on the trunk and branches, death of bark and woody tissues, limb dieback, leaf yellowing, defoliation and consequently, death of the fig trees (Figure 1).…”

“…No curative fungicides or effective and economical management methods are available for fig canker control (Mostowfizadeh‐Ghalamfarsa et al, 2022). The only options are either to remove infected tissues or to delay pruning until late in the dormant season (from March to early April), when wound susceptibility tends to be lower (Banihashemi & Javadi, 2009).…”

Edible fig (Ficus carica, family Moraceae) is probably native to southwest Asia, with Iran, one of the world's top fig-producing countries, behind Turkey, Morocco, Greece and Spain, with 107,791 tonnes of fig production annually (FAO, 2020). Fars Province, in southern Iran, has appropriate conditions for growing organic dried figs. The province is Iran's leading dried fig producer and 51,000 ha are devoted to fig cultivation in its arid and semi-arid regions (Jafari et al., 2018). The dominant commercial organic dried fig cultivar in Iran is the Smyrna fig cultivar Sabz, making up 95% of fig cultivation (Zare & Jalili, 2020).Fig canker is the most critical and devastating disease of edible figs (Banihashemi & Javadi, 2009). In a recent survey, a high occurrence of canker was observed in fig orchards in Fars Province. It has become a widespread syndrome among fig orchards in southern Iran, particularly for cv. Sabz. The pathogen leads to well-developed lesions on the trunk and branches, death of bark and woody tissues, limb dieback, leaf yellowing, defoliation, and consequently, death of the fig trees. Based on morphological identification, Phomopsis cinerascens (syn. Diaporthe cinerascens) was reported as the causal agent of fig canker in Fars Province, Iran (Banihashemi & Javadi, 2009). No curative fungicides or effective and economical management methods are available for fig canker control (Mostowfizadeh- . The only options are either to remove infected tissues or to delay pruning until late in the dormant season (from March to early April), when wound susceptibility tends to be lower (Banihashemi & Javadi, 2009). Several studies have investigated the possibility of using tolerant or resistant cultivars for canker disease management of the economic fruit trees, including
