Abstract:
Cherry plantations and fruit production are frequently disadvantaged, being severely affected by numerous species of harmful organisms that invasively attack all parts of the trees, causing significant annual damage to both the trees and the fruits. In this context, key diseases with economic importance to cherries arise, influenced by unstable environmental factors and the effect of monoculture, which creates favorable conditions in orchards for the permanent establishment of pathogens, with pathological effects, which are directly proportional to the age of the plantations. We have observed the severe invasive impact, frequency, and extensiveness caused by the following diseases: anthracnose, leaf spot, and fruit rot, which are decisive limiting factors in increasing fruit productivity
