菠萝果溃烂病是西马来西亚最严重的菠萝病害。1935年第一次记载此病,被认为是该国的一种地方病。至今其他国家还未报道过。据1972年的研究,此病病原菌签定为Erwinia chrysanthemi Burkh.尽管症状只在果实接近成熟时才出现,其实病原菌在2个月前就经开放的花侵入果实。细菌潜伏在小果内,直至条件有利时才侵染整个果实。本文详细描述了此病的症状以及几个菠萝栽培品种的感病性。 Pineapple fester is the most serious pineapple disease in western Malaysia. The disease was first documented in 1935 and is considered a endemic disease in the country. Other countries have not reported yet. According to the 1972 study, the pathogen was identified as Erwinia chrysanthemi Burkh. Although the symptoms only appear when the fruit is nearly ripe, the pathogen actually invaded into the fruit two months ago on an open flower. Bacteria lurk inside the small fruit and infect the entire fruit until the conditions are favorable. This article details the symptoms of the disease and the susceptibility of several pineapple cultivars.
