  • Crop Profile for Avocados in Florida
    Crop Profile for Avocados in Florida Prepared: August, 2008 Production Facts • As of 2002, the Florida avocado industry consisted of about 6,600 bearing acres, 737 growers, and 35 registered handlers/shippers. The majority of avocados (80 percent) produced in Florida are sold outside the state. Permits must be obtained for anyone wishing to sell more that 55 pounds of avocados per day. Consequently, most are sold to packinghouses from the farm (1). • In 2004-2005, Florida produced an estimated 28,000 tons of avocados. The value of the 2004-2005 crop was approximately $14.5 million or $0.26 per pound (1). • In 2004-2005, Florida was second behind California in avocado production nationally. Florida accounted for 9 percent of the production nationally, but only accounted for 5 percent of the value, owing to the fact that Florida avocados sell for less than the price (on a weight basis) garnered by California avocados (1). • Three “races” of avocado are recognized: West Indian, Guatemalan, and Mexican. These differ in blooming/maturity season, development period, fruit size, skin texture/color, oil content, and cold hardiness. West Indian and West Indian- Guatemalan hybrid cultivars predominate in Florida (2). • Avocado may be self- or cross-pollinating, and they are separated into A and B varieties based on reproductive functionality (2). Production Region Avocado (Persea americana) is grown exclusively in south Florida. Over 99 percent of Florida-grown avocado is produced in Miami-Dade County. Of the 737 farms reported in 2002, 88 percent were less than 15 acres, accounting for about a third of production, while those 50 acres and above (5 percent) accounted for approximately half of the production.

The family Elsinoaceae (type: Elsinoe canavaliae) is described and its separation from Myriangiaceae is supported. Butleria inaghatahani has characters similar to Elsinoaceae where it should remain. Beelia suttoniae appears to be a superficial biotroph on the surface of leaves and thus Beelia should be placed in Chaetothyriaceae and is most similar to Ainsworthia (= Phaeosaccardinula). Apart from the oblong to ovoid sessile asci in Hyalotheles dimerosperma, its placement in Elsinoaceae seems unwarranted, and Hyalotheles should be placed in Dothideomycetes incertae sedis. Saccardinula guaranitica may be better placed in Microthyriaceae or Brefeldiellaceae, because its ascomata greatly resemble thyrothecia found in Microthyriaceae and have similarities with Brefeldiella. Molecular sequence data from fresh collections is required to solve the problem of familial placement.

    -- CALIFORNIA D EP ARTM ENT OF cdfaFOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ California Pest Rating Proposal for Elsinoë australis Bitanc. & Jenkins 1936 Sweet orange scab Current Pest Rating: A Proposed Pest Rating: A Kingdom: Fungi; Phylum: Ascomycota Subphylum: Pezizomycotina; Class: Dothideomycetes Order: Myriangiales; Family: Elsinoaceae Comment Period: 5/22/2020 through 7/6/2020 Initiating Event: Elsinoë australis, the pathogen that causes sweet orange scab (SOS), was detected for the first time in the United States near Houston, Texas in 2010. Subsequently, it was found in the commercial citrus production areas of Texas and California. Border stations began to intercept infected fruit from Texas at the end of 2010; by early 2011 SOS had also been found in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arizona. A federal domestic quarantine order was enacted by USDA to limit the spread of the disease within the United States. During annual citrus commodity surveys in September 2013, CDFA crews from the Pest Detection Emergency Project branch found SOS in commercial groves within the Imperial County desert. The Federal order was amended in 2016 to cover affected California counties. The risk to California from E. australis is described herein and a permanent rating is proposed. History & Status: Background: Two scab diseases on citrus are now common in many humid citrus growing areas worldwide: sour citrus scab, caused by Elsinoë fawcettii, and sweet orange scab (SOS), caused by E. australis. Multiple pathotypes have been identified for both species. Sour citrus scab has already been widely distributed -- CALIFORNIA D EP ARTM ENT OF cdfaFOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ around the world, whereas sweet orange scab was limited mostly to southern South America, until it was detected in Texas.

  • A Renaissance in Plant Growth- Promoting and Biocontrol Agents By
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ICRISAT Open Access Repository A Renaissance in Plant Growth- Promoting and Biocontrol Agents 3 by Endophytes Rajendran Vijayabharathi , Arumugam Sathya , and Subramaniam Gopalakrishnan Abstract Endophytes are the microorganisms which colonize the internal tissue of host plants without causing any damage to the colonized plant. The benefi - cial role of endophytic organisms has dramatically documented world- wide in recent years. Endophytes promote plant growth and yield, remove contaminants from soil, and provide soil nutrients via phosphate solubili- zation/nitrogen fi xation. The capacity of endophytes on abundant produc- tion of bioactive compounds against array of phytopathogens makes them a suitable platform for biocontrol explorations. Endophytes have unique interaction with their host plants and play an important role in induced systemic resistance or biological control of phytopathogens. This trait also benefi ts in promoting plant growth either directly or indirectly. Plant growth promotion and biocontrol are the two sturdy areas for sustainable agriculture where endophytes are the key players with their broad range of benefi cial activities. The coexistence of endophytes and plants has been exploited recently in both of these arenas which are explored in this chapter.

(Myriangiales) associated to scaby brooms of Croton migrans in Brazil. Fungal Diversity 12: 155-159. The new fungal species of Anhellia, Anhellia verruco-scopiformans associated with scaby brooms of Croton migrans from a montane grassland site in Brazil, is described and illustrated. Key words: Ascomycota, biodiversity, Euphorbiaceae, taxonomy, tropical fungi. Introduction The genus Anhellia (Myriangiales, Ascomycota) was proposed by Raciborski (1900) based on Anhellia tristis Rac. Later, other taxa described in the genera Agostaea, Ramosiella and Whetzeliomyces were transferred to Anhellia (Arx, 1963). Anhellia is a plant parasitic genus often causing leaf spots and scab on stems. It is characterized by its dark ascomata, bearing many-celled ascospores inside bitunicate asci, borne at different levels in a pseudoparenchima connected with the host by an erumpent pulvinate or discoid hypostroma (Arx and Müller, 1975). The genus, comprises seven, mainly tropical, species. Two species, A. lantanae (Henn.) Arx and A. niger (Viégas) Arx were described from Brazil (Viégas, 1945; Arx, 1963). The latter is responsible for a damaging disease of Chromolaena odorata, a very important pantropical weed. Barreto and Evans (1994) regarded this fungus as a having a high potential as a biocontrol agent for this weed. We report herein a previously undescribed species of Anhellia, parasiting leaves and stems of Croton migrans (Euphorbiaceae) collected in the nature reserve of Caraça, Catas Altas, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

  • Pest Categorisation of Elsinoë Fawcettii and E. Australis
    SCIENTIFIC OPINION ADOPTED: 22 November 2017 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2017.5100 Pest categorisation of Elsinoe€ fawcettii and E. australis EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH), Michael Jeger, Claude Bragard, David Caffier, Thierry Candresse, Elisavet Chatzivassiliou, Katharina Dehnen-Schmutz, Gianni Gilioli, Jean-Claude Gregoire, Josep Anton Jaques Miret, Alan MacLeod, Maria Navajas Navarro, Bjorn€ Niere, Stephen Parnell, Roel Potting, Trond Rafoss, Gregor Urek, Ariena Van Bruggen, Wopke Van der Werf, Jonathan West, Stephan Winter, Antonio Vicent, Irene Vloutoglou, Bernard Bottex and Vittorio Rossi Abstract The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Elsinoe€ fawcettii and E. australis, the causal agents of citrus scab diseases, for the EU. The identities of the pests are well-established and reliable methods exist for their detection/identification. The pests are listed in Annex IIAI of Directive 2000/29/EC as Elsinoe€ spp. and are not known to occur in the EU. Species and hybrids of citrus (Family Rutaceae) are affected by E. fawcettii and E. australis, with the latter having a more restricted host range and geographical distribution compared to the former. The status of Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) as a host of E. australis is uncertain. The pests could potentially enter the EU on host plants for planting and fruit originating in infested Third countries. The current distribution of the pests, climate matching and the use of irrigation in the EU citrus-growing areas suggest that the pests could establish and spread in the EU citrus-growing areas. Uncertainty exists on whether cultural practices and control methods, currently applied in the EU, would prevent the establishment of the pests.

Of these, six strains morphologically resembled the asexual morphs of Aureobasidium 18S and Hormonema (sexual morphs ?Sydowia), but were phylogenetically distinct. A 28S rDNA phylogeny resolved 28S strains as a distinct clade in Dothideales with families Aureobasidiaceae and Dothideaceae their closest relatives. BenA Further analyses based on the ITS rDNA region, β-tubulin, 28S rDNA, and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit black yeast confirmed the distinct status of this clade and divided strains among two consistent subclades. As a result, we Dothidiomycetes introduce a new genus and two new species as Zalaria alba and Z. obscura, and a new family to accommodate them in ITS Dothideales. Zalaria is a black yeast-like fungus, grows restrictedly and produces conidiogenous cells with holoblastic RPB2 synchronous or percurrent conidiation.
