Diversity and Cross-Infection Potential of Causing Fruit Rots in Mixed-Fruit Orchards in Kentucky.

Fungi in the genus cause apple, blueberry, and strawberry fruit rots, which can result in significant losses. Accurate identification is important because species differ in aggressiveness, fungicide sensitivity, and other factors affecting management. Multiple species can cause similar symptoms on the same host, and more than one fruit type can be infected by a single species.
