Pestalotiopsis-like fungi cause diseases on many different species of plants worldwide, including strawberry. The pathogen is not necessarily new to strawberry and was first reported causing fruit rot in Florida and Israel in the 1970s. However, during the 2018–19 and 2019–20 strawberry seasons, severe and unprecedented outbreaks were reported in Florida, characterized by symptoms on nearly all plant parts including roots, crowns, petioles, fruit, and leaves. This new 4-page publication of the UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department describes the disease and its causal agent and briefly covers what is known about disease development and control practices. This document will provide valuable information to strawberry nursery and fruit production growers. Written by Juliana S. Baggio and Natalia A. Peres.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pp357

PP-234, a 3-page illustrated fact sheet by K.-R. Chung and L. W. Timmer, is part of the Citrus Diseases Exotic to Florida series, which aims to provide a basis for evaluating exotic pathogens that may pose potential risks to Florida citrus and create a decision-making framework to prevent their introduction and spread. It answers several questions, including why it is a concern, causal agent, affected cultivars, typical symptoms, how it is spread, and means of detection and control. Includes references.

The causal agent of a common head rot of sunflowers in Queensland was isolated and identified as Rhizopus oryzae. Field experiments were conducted to investigate the environmental and host conditions suitable for disease development, and control of the disease by the use of fungicides. The disease occurs in wound inoculated plants when atmospheric humidity is high. Dicloran is capable of restricting established infection, but wound inoculations made after the application of the fungicide avoid the protective barrier and are uninfluenced by it. The possible use of chemicals to control the disease is discussed.

Anthracnose fruit rot, caused by the fungus Colletotrichum acutatum, is an important disease for strawberry production worldwide. Other species of Colletotrichum, such as C. fragarie and C. gloeosporioides, are less frequently involved in fruit rot. Although fruit rot is the most important symptom caused by C. acutatum, the fungus can also attack other parts of the plant including the crown, leaves, petioles, and roots. This is document PP-207, a publication of the Plant Pathology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. Publication date: March 2005.  PP-207/PP130: Anthracnose Fruit Rot of Strawberry (ufl.edu)

English ivy has grown in popularity over the last few years as both an indoor and outdoor ornamental vining plant. While English ivy is very disease resistant, there are a few major diseases that will cause economic loss in production and landscape plantings. This 6-page document will assist residential or commercial property owners in identifying various English ivy diseases. Written by David J. Norman and G. Shad Ali and published by the UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department, August 2018. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pp339
