This document discusses various diseases that affect almond trees, including their symptoms and signs. It describes brownline and decline, which causes stunted growth, wilted leaves, and brown necrotic areas at the graft union. Silver leaf turns leaves silvery gray and causes death of limbs and trees. Armillaria root rot produces white fungal growth on roots and causes foliage paleness, lack of growth, and sudden death. Other diseases mentioned include Verticillium wilt, crown gall, shot hole, scab, and rust. Management strategies involve pruning, fungicide application, and cultural practices.

Fruits are a rich source of protein (0.69 g) vitamins (vit. A 0.06 mg; vit. B -0.03mg) and minerals like calcium (8 mg), phosphorus (15 mg) and iron (0.5 mg) per 100 grams of pulp. Patharnakh has become the commercial fruit crop of Punjab.
The area under pear is steadily increasing in North India. In Punjab, pear occupies an area of 2147 hectares with an annual production of 42940 tonnes. With the introduction of new promising semi-soft pear cultivars, the area under pear is likely to increase further.
The area under patharnakh increased in past thirty years due to the supply of quality nursery plants propagated on pear root suckers and Kainth seedlings. Now the quality plants of soft pears are being made available to the growers by Punjab Agricultural University nurseries.
Origin and History:
Pyrus species are native to the Northern Hemisphere of the old world. European and West Asian species are native to Eastern Europe and South Western Asia. East and North Asian species (oriental group) are native to Eastern Asia including China, Japan and ManAuria. Patharnakh (Pyrus pyrifolia) (Burm. F. Nakai) originated in China from where Chinese merchants and settlers brought it to Amritsar’s village Harsa Chhina during the time of Lord Kanishka (120-170 AD). From here patharnakh spread to other areas. In Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, Patharnakh is cultivated under the name of Gola pear.Climate and Soil:
Low chilling requiring pears are being cultivated in plains of North India. Cultivars requiring high chilling hours (900-1000) are cultivated at higher hills of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttara Khand.
Soil:
Pear is not very fastidious to its soil requirements. It is being grown from arid irrigated areas of Sirsa-Abohar to loam and clay loam soils of Amritsar and Hoshiarpur. It is doing well in foot hills where soils are light sandy to gravels. It prefers deep well drained loam soils with pH less than 8.5. Alkaline soils are unfit for pear cultivation. The soils with electric conductivity less than 1.5 mm hos/cm, less than 10 percent CaC03 and lime 20 percent are suitable for pear cultivation. High pH soils show iron chlorosis and zinc deficiencies in the pear plants.Rootstock:
Many rootstocks are being used to propagate pear trees. Promising characters of rootstock are given below:
Pear Root Suckers (Pyrus calleryana):
This is a very old rootstock which is in use since the introduction of pear cultivar patharnakh by the Chinese. Initially in rootstock trials at P.A.U. Ludhiana it has been considered to be Pyrus pyrifolia. A sucker was planted in the old orchard of the P.A.U. in 1976.
It grew as a tree quite different from P pyrifolia and did not flower for twenty years, but remained vegetative. Its roots continued to give out rootsuckers, whereas no rootsuckers developed on Pyrus pyrifolia roots. Hence it has been identified as root suckers of oriental pear Pyrus calleryana. Old pear orchards produce root-suckers.

Diseases of rose:
Crown Gall Rot,
Black Spot,
Powdery mildew of Rose,
Rust and Anthracnose.
Besides rose diseases, environmental factors can effect your plants too, and they should be watched for an remedied when found. To keep most rose diseases under control, a commercial fungicide will take care of it. In other cases, proper pruning techniques and the maintenance of clean garden implements goes a long way in preventing such conditions from occurring in the first place.
I have found that only two sprays are needed to keep your plants healthy. The first is sulpher. This will work for most of the diseases. But not for black-spot: for this you need Capstan.
Peach is the temperate region fruit crops.The cultivation of peach requires some specific climatic conditions. It requires some chilling hours to break the dormancy and to become fruit ful. In this presentation, you will get the detail information of ideal peach cultivation, high density planting in peach and much more.
Wilt is a pernicious disease of guava in India.
In India the disease was first recorded near Allahabad in 1935 . The infection was reported 15 -30 %.
The disease is a serious threat to guava cultivation in U.P. In West Bengal it reduces the yield in affected orchard by 80% .
The disease is also prevalent in Haryana Rajasthan , A.P ,
Punjab and M.P.The exact cause of the disease is still not fully understood but the pathogens viz. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. psidii (Prasad, Mehta & Lal), Rhizoctonia spp. (Taub.) and various pathogens are reported by different workers may be the incitant of the disease.
Survival and spread:
Through movement of plants containing sick soil in virgin areas.
Short distance spread is by water.
Root injury predisposes wilt disease.
It has forced uprooting of about 150 acre of guava orchard in Panjab and 300 acres in Haryana during 1971-81.

4. Symptoms
Trees with almond brownline and
decline are stunted and have
leaves that droop and appear
wilted. Current-season shoot
growth is abnormally shortened or
absent. If bark is removed from the
graft union, brown necrotic areas
can be seen. The brown areas at
the graft union may be scattered
around the trunk or may form a
continuous line. You may need to
check several places around the
circumference of the trunk to
determine whether this symptom is
present. Over time, the surface of
the wood at the graft union
becomes mildly to severely pitted.
Trees decline and become
unproductive.
5. SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
Silver leaf is caused by a
fungus that infects wood
and the water-conducting
xylem through fresh
wounds. A toxin produced
by the pathogen is carried
through the xylem to
leaves, causing them to
turn a silvery gray. As the
disease progresses over a
few years, leaves curl
upward at the edges and
turn brown. Eventually
limbs, scaffolds, and the
whole tree will die.
6. SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
Roots infected
with Armillaria mellea have
white to yellowish fan-
shaped mycelial mats
between the bark and the
wood. Dark brown to
black rhizomorphs can
sometimes be seen on the
root surface. Infected trees
develop pale foliage with
small leaves, a lack of new
growth, and a thin canopy,
usually followed by sudden
death when the first hot
weather of early summer
arrives.
7. The top structure is an Armillaria rhizomorph; beneath it
is a healthy root
8.
9. Symptoms
This is one of the most
visually moving diseases
found in almond. Once
upon the location of the
problem, not only is the
disease obvious by
looking at the trees, but
the air is also filled with
a fermented-like smell
reminding one a bar
when entering for
happy hour.
10.
11.
12. SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
Beginning in late April, leaves on
lower limbs of affected trees first
turn yellow, then brown. The limb
eventually dies, often right up to
the point of attachment, but the
large wood of the scaffolds remains
apparently unaffected. If the bark
on dying limbs is scraped away with
a knife, brown spots are evident in
the wood. The symptoms can be
confused with normal shade-out of
low limbs. However, as lower limb
dieback progresses, limbs receiving
adequate sunlight several feet high
in the tree can eventually become
affected.
13. Symptoms
Leaves with symptoms develop
sporadically throughout the tree
canopy. Affected branches lack
lateral growth and have little
terminal growth from one year to
the next. Frequently, one or more
normal shoots are produced on a
branch that is otherwise
completely diseased. Fruit set on
diseased trees is reduced. Hulls
are wrinkled or rough, and fruit
appear larger than healthy fruit
because the hulls are abnormally
thick. Trees with yellow bud mosaic
will live for many years but do not
produce well; yield reduction is
directly proportional to the
severity of the symptoms.
14. SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
Trees affected by
almond kernel shrivel
bloom later than
healthy trees, new
shoot growth is
stunted, and leaves
are pale and smaller
than normal. Trees
develop thin canopies
and the kernels of all
nuts are shriveled at
harvest.
15. Symptoms
Pale green chlorotic
spots, rings and lines
on leaves which
appear in early
summer; pale rings,
lines and spots on
fruit; fruit flesh dry
and flavorless; fruit
may be markedly
deformed
16. Almond leaf scorch appears as
a marginal scorching of leaves that
begins as early as June and continues to
develop during summer. A golden yellow
band develops between the brown
necrotic edge and the inner green
tissues of the leaf. Disease symptoms
may appear first on one branch or a
portion of one scaffold. As years go by,
more and more of the tree is affected
until the whole canopy is involved.
Another name for this disease, golden
death, describes the golden yellow color
of the canopy of a severely infected
tree. Infected trees bloom and leaf out
later than healthy trees, are stunted,
less productive, and have reduced
terminal growth. Trees with almond leaf
scorch usually survive for many years.
17. Symptoms
Dark brown circular
spots on fruit; tan
spore masses may be
visible in center of
spots; diseases fruit
may not drop from
tree
18.
19. SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
Typical symptoms of
powdery mildew include
russeting on almond hulls.
The symptoms are
reminiscent of rusty spot on
peach fruit caused
by Podosphaera
leucotricha but without the
typical powdery white
growth. No conidia (asexual
spores) or chasmothecia
(sexual fruiting structures
of powdery mildew fungi)
are generally observed on
the fruit. Foliar and twig
symptoms are absent.
20. Symptoms
Light brown lesions on leaves which
expand to form circular lesions on
leaf blade or semi-circular lesions
on margin; leaves may develop
light yellow necrosis which dries
and turns tan in center of leaves;
infected leaves dropping from tree;
fruit does not drop from tree
Cause
Fungus
Comments
Disease emergence favors warm
weather
Management
Late spring treatment with
appropriate fungicide if Alternaria
symptoms are present
21. Symptoms
Blighting of blossom; dieback of limbs;
death of foliage with leaves remaining
attached; nuts with orange lesions
Cause
Fungus
Comments
All cultivars susceptible; occurs more
often in warm, wet conditions
Management
Fungicide treatment and cultural
practices required to control disease.
Orchards with a history of anthracnose
infections should be sprayed at 5-10%
bloom and applications should be
repeated every 10 to 14 days; dead
infected branches should be pruned; low
angle nozzles should be used in orchards
with spray irrigation to prevent wetting
of leaves
22. Figure 1: Almond leaves infected by
Anthracnose.

an almond. Note the profuse
gumming coming from the kernal.
23. Figure 3: Kernals killed by anthracnose often remain
on the tree as dried, shriveled mummies.
Figure 4: Anthracnose infection of
almond branches.
24. The first indication of hull rot
usually comes several weeks before
harvest, when leaves on a shoot
wither and die. Closely examine
fruit on this shoot for a brown area
on the outside of the hull and
either tan fungal growth in the
brown area on the inside or outside
of the hull (this
indicates Monilinia) or black fungal
growth on the inside of the hull
(this indicatesRhizopus). Fungi
invade hulls and produce a toxin
that kills the shoot attached to the
fruit. Because the shoot is killed,
other green fruit on the shoot don't
mature and they remain on the
tree after harvest. The disease
causes dieback of shoots and
fruiting wood that reduces
productivity in future years
25. Symptoms
Young blossom spurs and
associated leaves collapse to
form shoot blight. Gum may
exude at the base ofinfected
flowers. Cankers on blighted
twigs have tan centers with
dark margins. At high humidity,
gray to tan spore masses form
on diseased flower parts and
twig cankers.
Flowers may become infected
from pink bud to petal fall and
are most susceptible when
fully open. In almonds, stigma,
anthers, and petals are all very
susceptible to infection
28. Spots occur on leaves, fruit, twigs, and
flowers; however, flower and twig
lesions are relatively scarce or difficult
to find. Leaf lesions begin as tiny reddish
specks that enlarge by several
millimeters into spots having tan centers
and purplish margins. When the fungus
sporulates, the fruiting structure
appears as a small dark speck (the
sporodochium and spores) in the center
of the spot; this is a diagnostic
characteristic of shot hole disease. Spots
on young leaves usually fall out, leaving
a hole (the shot hole); older leaves
retain their lesions. Fruit spots are small
with purplish margins, slightly corky, and
raised. Spots are found on the upper
surface of fruit with respect to the way
it hangs on trees. Heavy infection of
young fruit may cause fruit drop or
distortion and gumming of fruit.
29. Shot hole on young apricots
Shot hole damage from left to right on
peach, almond, apricot, and cherry
30. Gumming on dead bud, sporodochia in tan lesions
surrounded by blackened area on twig. Shot holes
31. Symptoms
Leaves on one or more branches,
often on only one side of the tree,
will turn yellow or wilt early in the
growing season. The symptoms
progress until the affected shoots
die and dry up later in the season.
Affected young shoots often
resemble a shepherd's hook. When
shoot, branch, or trunk tissue of
infected trees is cut in cross
section, the vascular ring and often
much of the heartwood will
display dark discoloration .
Foliar symptoms usually appear
only on young trees (first to fifth or
sixth leaf). Older trees do not
normally exhibit symptoms of
Verticillium wilt.
33. Symptoms
Galls of various sizes
on roots and root
crown below Rough,
abnormal galls on
roots or trunk. Galls
are soft and spongy.
The centers of older
galls decay. Young
trees become
stunted; older trees
often develop
secondary wood rots
34.
35. Damage
The fungus causes greasy black
spots on fruit, leaves, and
green shoots. The shoot lesions
are the overwintering sites for
the fungus and the source of
new spores in the spring. No
apparent damage is done to
the fruit, but the leaves fall.
Scab can completely defoliate
a tree in a short time.
Severe defoliation in early
summer was even observed in
several orchards in Madera
County last year. All cultivars
appear susceptible, but Carmel
seems especially vulnerable
36.
37. Damage
Rust appears as small,
yellow spots on the upper
surface of leaves. On the
lower surface of the leaf
these spots take on a rusty
red appearance when the
rust-colored spores
produced in the lesions
erupt through the surface.
These spores are spread by
air movement and infect
other leaves to continue
the disease cycle. Young
twigs may be infected, but
twig lesions are seldom
seen on almond.
38.
39. Symptoms
Poor new growth; leaves
chlorotic, small in size and
sparse; fruit may be small,
brightly colored and
susceptible to sunburn;
shoots may suffer from
dieback and tree will often
die within weeks or months
of first signs of infection or
decline gradually over
several seasons; root crown
may show signs of decay
which develops into a
canker; bark of infected
crown tissue turns dark
brown; cankers may occur
on aerial parts of plant
40.
41. Identification
Leaf Blight
Pathogen: Seimatosporium lichenicola
The leaf blight fungus attacks the
base of the leaf petiole and the
bud that sits between the leaf and
shoot. The leaf dies, turns a light
tan color, and remains stuck to the
tree. Later these leaves are then
covered with the black growth of
secondary fungi decomposing the
infected leaves.
Leaf death is of less importance,
however, than the bud death that
accompanies it. Leaf blight is more
common in Northern California and
fortunately we see it seldom here
in Madera County. Generally, scab
and shot hole programs control leaf
blight.
42. Symptoms
Symptoms are most obvious in
spring, and include limb
dieback with rough cankers
and amber-colored gum or
total tree collapse. There may
also be leaf spots and blast of
young flowers, spurs, and
shoots. The sour-sap phase of
bacterial canker may not show
gum and cankers, but the inner
bark is brown, fermented, and
sour smelling. Flecksand
pockets of bacterial invasion in
bark occur outside canker
margins. Frequently,
trees sucker from near ground
level; cankers do not extend
below ground.
