<i>Neopestalotiopsis</i> spp.: A Threat to Strawberry Production and Management
<i>Neopestalotiopsis</i> spp. are emerging fungal pathogens associated with leaf spot, fruit rot, crown rot, and root rot in strawberries. Despite their endophytic lifestyle, global outbreaks of these pathogens have been reported over the past few years, causing severe economic losses in...

| description | <i>Neopestalotiopsis</i> spp. are emerging fungal pathogens associated with leaf spot, fruit rot, crown rot, and root rot in strawberries. Despite their endophytic lifestyle, global outbreaks of these pathogens have been reported over the past few years, causing severe economic losses in commercial strawberry production. Resistance has been reported against the chemical fungicides used to manage <i>Neopestalotiopsis</i> spp. This review comprehensively examines the epidemiology, biology, and infection mechanisms of <i>Neopestalotiopsis</i> spp. on strawberries. Recent advances in management strategies, including biological control agents and resistant strawberry cultivars, have also been highlighted. By integrating these approaches, this work aims to provide a foundation for sustainable management practices to mitigate the impact of <i>Neopestalotiopsis</i> spp. on strawberry production. |
