• Superficial leathery appearance
• Silver/grey to dark lesions.
• Tear-staining pattern common.
• Pink tinge (spores) under humid conditions.

Occurrence

• Infection occurs by rain-splash during autumn.
• Ethylene degreening increases sensitivity to anthracnose.

Management

• Dead wood should be pruned as the fungus harbours in dead branches.
• Field sprays of copper-based fungicides should be applied prior to autumn rains.
• Postharvest treatment with Benzimidazole fungicides may reduce fruit losses.
