2019–2020 Florida Citrus Production Guide: Brown Rot of Fruit

Abstract

Management of brown rot, caused by Phytophthora nicotianae or P. palmivora, is needed on both processing and fresh-market fruit. While the disease affects all citrus types, it is usually most severe on Hamlin, Navel, and other early-maturing sweet orange cultivars. This 3-page fact sheet is part of the 2019–2020 Florida Citrus Production Guide. Written by M. M. Dewdney, E. G. Johnson, and J. H. Graham, and published by the Plant Pathology Department, March 2019. PP-148/CG022: 2022–2023 Florida Citrus Production Guide: Brown Rot of Fruit (ufl.edu)
