The 34,4% of Italian olive oil is produced in Apulia region.

Plan ant Path atholog ogy y and nd Diag agnos osis, s, Uni niversi rsity ty of Fogg oggia OLIVE DISEASES Anthracnose - Colletotricum spp., The disease is favored from warm and wet conditions; the rains increase the infection cycles. The disease cause high oleic acid values, so the oil is not high quality.
Plan ant Path atholog ogy y and nd Diag agnos osis, s, Uni niversi rsity ty of Fogg oggia The Anthracnose infections of olive It is possible to think that the infections start from the stalk of the fruits. But secondary infections can start from mesocarp of olive fruits. The Colletotrichum infections can occur also on leaves, indeed olive plants often show stunting and leaf falls (strong defoliation). We ascertained that Colletotrichum spp. are able to infect leaves. Olive drupes infected from Colletotrichum spp. give oil called “red oil” . It is enough 5-10% of olive fruits infected to have an oil with high acidity.

Plan ant Path atholog ogy y and nd Diag agnos osis, s, Uni niversi rsity ty of Fogg oggia Results All Colletotrichum species inoculated were able to infect the olive drupes although values of Severity Disease index were different. The most aggressive fungus was C. simmondsii , which never has been isolated from olives, this is the first time. C. acutatum sensu strictum was the second fungus able to infect olive drupes more than C. clavatum , although this last fungus was the most isolated. Moreover, C. coccoides, C. circinans e C. destructivum resulted to be able to infect olive drupes but with values of Severity Disease index very low.
