Brunatna zgnilizna drzew pestkowych (Monilioza)

Brown rot of stone fruit trees (Monilia fructigena) is one of the most serious fungal diseases that occurs on sour cherries, sweet cherries, and plums, and less frequently on apricots and peaches. The fungus (Monilinia laxa, Monilina fructigena) overwinters on fruit mummies and on fruit that fell to the ground the previous year. In spring, spores reach the plant. There, they infect the flowers, which die. The fungus spreads to the shoots, causing necrosis of the bark and the death of entire branches. This manifests itself by wilting and drying of the leaves. The pathogens also infect fruit, especially when humidity increases, for example, after rainfall. The fruit begins to brown and rot, and then ash-gray sporangia with spores appear. Infected fruit remains on the tree in a dried form (mummies) or falls to the ground and infects the plants again the following year.
