| Summary: | Ananas comosus, commonly known as pineapple, is a fruit with a large potential market
as a commodity and commercial fruit. Numerous pests and diseases affect pineapple,
directly or indirectly, by lowering the quality and quantity. The fungal causative agents,
namely Fusarium ananatum and Thalaromyces stolii (previously named Penicillium
funiculosum), cause fruitlet core rot (FCR) and fusariosis by Fusarium guttiforme.
Bacteria heart rot (BHR) is an infection by Erwinia chrysanthemi, newly known as
Dickeya zeae. Nevertheless, the mealybug wilt of pineapple (MWP) is another pineapple
treat to susceptible pineapple varieties caused by pineapple mealybug wilt-associated
viruses (PMWaVs). Other diseases include destruction caused by pathogenic nematodes.
This review discusses the status of these diseases and the control measures that greatly
affect the economy of pineapple-producing countries due to the economic significance
of these crops. Growers need up-to-date information on the identity of the diseases that
affect pineapple crops in the various countries that produce them to effectively manage
the diseases in the field. |
