Discussion

This investigation reveals the dynamics of blossom blight in almond orchards, highlighting inoculum sources and meteorological impacts.

Infection dynamics of blossom blight peaked in late April due to favorable meteorological conditions.
Higher inoculum concentrations were found in late-stage fruits compared to flowers and cankers.
The study identified primary and secondary inoculum sources critical for managing Monilinia laxa.
Significant correlations were observed between disease progression and meteorological parameters.

Casals et al. (2025) studied this question.
