Anthracnose infected avocado

Anthracnose is a fungal disease which is prevalent in cool, humid weather. Spread by gardeners, tools, seed and rain. It affects:

Roses
Fruit trees including avocado, mango, macadamia
A wide range of vegetables including bean, watermelon, rockmelon, tomato, cucumber and lettuce

In roses it can be confused with Black spot; begins as a black mark with well-defined margins but the centre turns grey and falls out, leaving a black edge. In fruits, circular, sunken spots or craters are formed.

Suggested Organic Strategies

Select resistant varieties
Avoid overhead irrigation and improve air circulation
Crop rotation
Remove and destroy infected plants
Use disease-free seed
On trees, prune all dead wood and twigs and burn prunings (where possible)
