High Susceptibility of Olive Cultivar FS-17 to Alternaria alternata in Southern Spain

Traditional olive orchards in Spain have been planted at a density of 70 to 80 trees per ha with three trunks per tree. During the last decade, the hedgerow orchard, in which planting density is approximately 2,000 trees per ha, was developed. In 2006 and 2007, we noted a severe outbreak of fruit ro...

520 |a Traditional olive orchards in Spain have been planted at a density of 70 to 80 trees per ha with three trunks per tree. During the last decade, the hedgerow orchard, in which planting density is approximately 2,000 trees per ha, was developed. In 2006 and 2007, we noted a severe outbreak of fruit rot in FS-17, a new cultivar from Italy, in an experimental hedgerow planting in Córdoba, southern Spain. The incidence of fruit rot in 'FS-17' was 80% in January of 2006 and 24% in January of 2007. Cvs. Arbosana, IRTA-i18 (a selected clone from 'Arbequina'), and Koroneiki had no symptoms in either year of the study. Disease incidence in 'Arbequina' was <0.1% only in 2006. Affected fruits were soft with gray-white skin and they eventually mummified. Black-green sporodochia were observed on the surface of diseased fruits. A fungus was isolated from diseased fruits on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and incubated at 22 to 26°C with a 12-h photoperiod. After 8 days of growing on PDA, fungal colonies formed conidial chains having a main axis with up to 10 conidia and secondary and tertiary short branches with two to four conidia. Conidia were obpyriform, ovoid, or ellipsoidal, without a beak or with a short beak, had up to four transverse septa, and measured 11.7 to 24.7 (mean 19.6) μm long and 7.7 to 13.0 (mean 9.6) μm wide at the broadest part of the conidium. The length of the beak of conidia was variable, ranging from 0 to 28.6 (mean 5.5) μm. The fungus was identified as Alternaria alternata (1). Pathogenicity tests were performed by spraying 40 mature fruits of 'FS-17' with a spore suspension (1 × 106 spores per ml). The same number of control fruits was treated with water. After 21 days, inoculated fruit developed symptoms that had earlier been observed in the field. A. alternata was reisolated from lesions on all infected fruits. The fungus was not isolated from any of the control fruits. The experiment was performed twice. The new growing system and the high susceptibility of some olive cultivars, such as FS-17, may result in a high incidence of disease caused by a pathogen that is generally characterized as weakly virulent. To our knowledge, this is the first report of A. alternata causing a severe outbreak of fruit rot on olive trees in the field. References: (1) B. M. Pryor and T. J. Michailides.
