Article Synopsis
- Anthracnose is the most significant disease affecting olive crops, primarily caused by different species of the Colletotrichum fungus in Spain and Portugal, with C. godetiae and C. nymphaeae being the main culprits.
- The research evaluated the resistance of various olive cultivars, particularly comparing the 'Picual' (resistant) and 'Arbequina' (moderately susceptible) varieties, finding that some offspring hybrids showed improved resistance to C. godetiae.
- Despite the interactions observed between the olive genotypes and Colletotrichum species, traditional and new cultivars generally fell into susceptible or moderately susceptible categories, indicating a complex resistance mechanism and varied responses between fruit and leaf susceptibilities
