California is the number one producer of fresh citrus fruit in the United States making citrus stubborn disease in this region an economically important disease for control. [11] Citrus stubborn initially rose to a major concern for the citrus industry in the 1980s and is, in recent years, becoming an increasingly problematic disease.
The disease was then reported outside of California for the first time in the Mediterranean in 1928, [11] suggesting its wider geographical spread and impact on citrus production by that time. However, S. citri , the bacterium responsible for Citrus stubborn disease, was not cultured and identified until 1973, initially discovered in California ...

This Ascomycete fungus affects citrus plants throughout subtropical climates, causing a reduction in both fruit quantity and quality. [citation needed] Symptoms include both fruit and leaf lesions, the latter being critical to inter-tree dispersal. Strict regulation and management is necessary to control this disease since there are currently ...
Penicillium digitatum (/ ˌ p ɛ n ɪ ˈ s ɪ l i əm ˌ d ɪ dʒ ɪ ˈ t eɪ t əm /) is a mesophilic fungus found in the soil of citrus-producing areas. [1] [2] [3] It is a major source of post-harvest decay in fruits and is responsible for the widespread post-harvest disease in Citrus fruit known as green rot or green mould.
Without proper management, the disease can lead to huge losses for citrus growers. In 1901, 10 to 30% of citrus crops in California were lost due to Alternaria citri . Another source states that in India, between 1988 and 1990, more than 20% of mandarins in transport were lost to the disease. [ 10 ]
The impact of Hurricanes Irma in 2017, Ian in 2022 and Milton in 2024 on trees already weakened from years of citrus greening disease "has led Alico to conclude that growing citrus is no longer ...
Common hosts of this disease are citrus and herbaceous plants like sweet orange, grapefruit, mandarin, and Mexican lime. [3] Symptoms of infected hosts consist of interveinal chlorotic flecks and leaf mottling in younger tissues–in more severe cases these symptoms persist in older tissues. In mild cases, the bark of the trunk or limbs may ...
