Grape ripe rot disease caused by Colletotrichum spp.: current status, concerns and future perspectives.

- Abstract
Grapevine is among the most economically significant cultivated plants globally, primarily for wine and table grape production. However, both grape production and quality can be adversely affected by fungal diseases, such as powdery and downy mildews. In subtropical regions, vineyards are also vulnerable to infection by Colletotrichum spp., leading to grape ripe rot. The development of grape ripe rot is facilitated by high temperature and moisture during the final stages of berry ripening. In the past three decades, disease reports examined in this study indicate that Colletotrichum species associated with grape ripe rot are predominantly from two species complexes: gloeosporioides and acutatum. Analysis of sequenced loci related to grape ripe rot, available on GenBank, has revealed that taxon identification often lags behind the latest phylogenetic findings. In the expansive and genetically diverse Colletotrichum genus, species identification can sometimes pose challenges. However, it is imperative to establish effective crop management strategies. Furthermore, stakeholders are grappling with the issue of fungicide resistance, and alternatives to chemical compounds, such as biological control strategies, have yet to become a practical reality.
