Mal Secco Leaf Infection

Mal secco disease is a vascular pathogen causing severe damage and death to the host, especially lemon, in citrus and related genera, in Mediterranean countries and the Black Sea region. So far, however, it is unknown in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, as well as in other major citrus growing regions of the world. Symptoms include visible red strands in the stem xylem as well as venous chlorosis, wilting and leaf loss, dieback of twigs and branches. We infect with stomata and wounds. The causative organism, Phoma tracheiphila, is a conidial fungus. Once in the orchard, the fungus can be transported as spores of pycnidia and hyphae on the plant and on debris fallen by rain, wind and irrigation water, and possibly by birds and insects. A concern of many international plant protection organizations, P. tracheiphila should be prevented from spreading through infected propagating material.
