Each report provides information regarding the 4 fungal diseases that affect vineyards: downy mildew, powdery mildew, botrytis and blackrot.

Xylella fastidiosa (Wells et al.) is a quarantine phytopathogenic bacterium that has a very wide range of host plants (more than 300 plant species), and can cause serious damage to the most important crops of the Balearic Islands, such as almond, vine, olive, citrus or fig trees, and to numerous species of ornamental plants (rosemary, lavender, polygala and acacia, among others).

Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterium that causes rapid and widespread decline in plants. In the most severe cases, the leaves and branches may dry up and, ultimately, the entire plant may die. In many host species, the presence of the bacteria does not produce any symptoms, making detection extremely difficult. X.

Recommendations for treatments against red palm weevil and other palm borer pests

Paysandisia archon, a lepidopteran of the Castniidae family, is native to South America, whose larvae feed on palm trees. The first detection in Europe was in France and Italy in 1998-99. In Spain, it was first detected in Catalonia in May 2002, and in the Valencian Community in June of that same year.

Scirtothrips aurantii is a pest that affects various crops such as pomegranates, persimmons, citrus fruits, and table grapes. This pest was first detected in Spain in 2020, in the province of Huelva.

Cottony mildew is one of the pests that most concerns the persimmon production sector in the Valencian Community. They feed on the plant's sap, weakening it, and excrete large amounts of honeydew, on which saprophytic fungi develop, forming a characteristic black felt known as "sour patch." Fruits stained with sooty mold lose commercial quality.

Whiteflies are among the pests of greatest concern to the persimmon production sector in the Valencian Community. Within this group of insects, the species most commonly found on persimmons are Dialeurodes citri, Paraleyrodes minei, and Aleurothrixus floccosus.

Whiteflies are the pests that have most concerned both the persimmon and citrus production sectors in the Valencian Community in recent years. Within this group of insects, the species most commonly found are Dialeurodes citri, Paraleyrodes minei, and Aleurothrixus floccosus.

Fact sheet for the control of Mycosphaerella nawae in persimmon.

Persimmon cultivation is expanding and widespread in the Valencian Community, especially in the La Ribera region. The increase in cultivated area and its coexistence with other traditional crops in the area are leading to the establishment of various pests in the persimmon.

Vine downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) is a disease caused by the endoparasitic fungus Plasmopara viticola. Under favorable environmental conditions, it can attack all green parts of the vine, causing severe damage and significant crop losses.

Period from bud break to flowering: The presence of Scirtothrips will be assessed weekly using two main methods: 1. Captures in yellow chromatic traps as an indicator of early presence. These traps require inspection by specialized technical personnel. 2.
