Abstract
This disease, also called jacket rot of apricot, was first though to be similar to a disease caused by a fungus found in central California. The Utah disease was first noted in 1953, in the Henry Hall Chinese apricot orchard at North Ogden. It was not very severe in 1953, but in 1954 and 1955 it affected half of the crop. In 1956 the disease could not be found in the orchard. Infection occurred in young green fruit resulting in brown to black necrotic lesions which varied from 1/4 to 3/4 inches in diameter. Infected fruits usually dropped from the trees before maturity. Other parts of the trees did not appear to be infected. The causal agent of the disease in Utah has not been identified.
