MODERN INFORMATION ABOUT FUNGAL PATHOGENS ON STONE FRUIT CROPS IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE BLACK SEA COAST OF KRASNODAR REGION

The paper provides modern systematic list of plant pathogenic fungi on stone fruit crops in the western part of the Black Sea coast of Krasnodar region, Russia (Temryuk district, urban districts of Anapa and Novorossiysk) based on the studies during the 2016–2019. 51 species of phytopathogenic fungi were revealed on the 7 most common stone fruit crops, among which ascomycetes predominate (35 species, 68.6 %). 11 of plant pathogenic fungal species were first-found on stone fruits on the Black Sea coast of Krasnodar region. The largest number of plant pathogenic fungal species was noted on apricot (33 species), plum (32) and peach (27). A significant similarity of the species composition was revealed, but a greater occurrence and severity of agents causing twig necrotic diseases was noted compared with the eastern part of the coast of the Krasnodar region (humid subtropics). Some systematic problems of studying the plant pathogenic fungal species composition on stone fruit crops in the region are also mentioned.
