Abstract:
Pseudocercospora cladosporioides (Sacc.) Braun, the
causal agent of cercosporiosis or cercospora leaf spots, is
responsible for severe defoliation to olive trees; fruits, petioles,
fruit stalks, and young shoots can also be attacked by the fungus.
Little is known about the biology of the pathogen, the
epidemiology and the control of cercosporiosis. Some papers had
been published in the '50s and '60s, but they became sporadic in
the following decades. In this chapter, an account is given of olive
cercosporiosis, focusing attention on recent advances in the
knowledge of the biology, control and diagnosis of the pathogen.
