Abstract

Almond production has increased worldwide in recent years, driven by growing demand. This increase has also occurred in Catalonia, where almond orchards cover 33,000 hectares. The increase in production has been achieved by introducing irrigation systems and new varieties into commercial orchards. The change towards a more intensive cultivation system has brought an array of new diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. In this paper we summarize the most prevalent diseases that are currently affecting almond orchards in Catalonia or that could become more important in future.
