Fungous Brown Rot Threatens Stone Fruits Across Regions
In a detailed note by Leonard R. Hantila, the brown rot fungus endangers peach plum and cherry crops as well as some apples and pears. The disease, worsened by wet, muggy springs, attacks fruit at small circular spots, spreads through skin cracks, and can leave heavily infected trees with many rot exposed during harvest. Controlling measures emphasize protective sprays timed after bloom and before fruit set, using sulfur and other fungicides to limit spore production and infection.
