Abstract

The majority of phytosanitary problems in peach palm (Bactris gasipaes var. gasipaes) are still restricted to some plantations. However, with the expansion of planted areas, the damages caused by diseases has increased in nurseries as well as in plantations. The anthracnosis (Colletotrichum gloeosporiodes) is the most important disease of peach palm in Brazil, but other pathogens (Phytophthora palmivora, Fusarium spp.) also occur in nurseries and peach palm plantations. Other phytosanitary problem is the low quality of the seeds of peach palm. Results from phytopathological studies on this plant are reported in this review including some management aspects. The etiology and management of the major diseases are discussed based on data obtained from Brazil and other countries where this forest species is planted.
