DISTRIBUTION OF BLACK ROT [Phyllosticta ampelicida (Engelm.) Aa] OF GRAPEVINE IN CROATIA
Bogdan Cvjetković
Abstract
The article gives and overview on grapevine black rot disease [Phyllosticta ampelicida (Engelm.) Aa] in Croatia. Black rot was described in Croatia for the first time in 1927 in Split area. In the year 1934 it spread in vineyards on the island of Krk, causing very high yield losses. The parasite is still present in this area today, although it does not cause much damage, mostly because of chemical control of other grapevine diseases. Beside the island Krk, the disease has also spread to the nearby island Cres and to the continental surroundings of Rijeka, Sušak, Crikvenica and Novi Vinodolski. Black rot has been occasionally recorded on the island of Korčula and in the hinterland of Dubrovnik. Symptoms and biology are described in the article, and recommendations for black rot control are given.
