This is the Spanish translation of HS1358, Recommendations for the Detection and Mitigation of Laurel Wilt Disease in Avocado and Related Tree Species in the Home Landscape. Avocado trees are a popular choice for homeowners in Florida, with over 600,000 growing in Florida home landscapes. However, avocado trees as well as others in the Lauraceae family are susceptible to laurel wilt disease, which can kill a tree in as few as three weeks. This new 8-page publication of the UF/IFAS Horticultural Sciences Department provides home owners recommendations for identifying and mitigating laurel wilt disease in the home landscape. Written by Jonathan H. Crane, Jeff Wasielewski, Daniel Carrillo, Romina Gazis, Bruce Schaffer, Fredy Ballen, and Edwards Evans.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/hs1384

Mealybug wilt disease of pineapple has a complicated etiology, which is not yet fully understood. As a result, assessments of the disease in the field, such as those that are made in the context of evaluation of disease control methods, are usually based on symptomatology. Field assessments, based on symptoms of mealybug wilt disease, were made in the Kurunegala and Gampaha districts of Sri Lanka. These data were fitted to statistical probability distributions as a method of summarizing the spatial pattern of disease incidence. Most plots showed aggregated patterns of diseased plants, but there were some exceptions. Summarizing patterns of disease incidence by means of fitting statistical probability distributions provides a basis for significance testing in cases where factors affecting disease incidence are the subject of field experimentation. Some examples of this methodology are given.

This article describes and provides preliminary estimates of the potential economic losses that could result from an incursion of the recently discovered exotic laurel wilt disease caused by Raffaelea lauricola, in the main avocado (Persea americana) growing area of Florida. Estimates are provided for the direct losses as well as the indirect or “spillover” losses that could occur across the rest of the regional economy. The Impact Analysis for Planning (IMPLAN) input-output multipliers were used in assessing the regional impacts. The results of the investigation indicate that the direct loss to the industry in terms of lost sales, property damage, and increased management costs could range from $356 million in a do-nothing situation to about $183 million if damage control measure were 50% effective. If increased management costs and decreased property values are ignored, the adverse impact on the regional economy could range from $54 million in a do-nothing situation to $27 million in a case in which the treatments result in only a 50% reduction in avocado production.
