Abstract

The quarantine pest Monilinia fructicola (Winter) Honey was recorded in Germany in 2009 for the first time. In order to get an overall view of the dissemination of this pathogen a survey was conducted within a radius of 2 kilometers around the black berry orchard, where the pathogen was initially detected. For that, a convenient, inexpensive and reliable method for detection was developed based on a combination of cultural and morphological characteristics and a species specific PCR. By this method, M. fructicola was detected in about 4% of 1483 surveyed fruits with typical Monilia symptoms and in almost 17% of 121 orchards from which samples were taken.
