Two major post‐harvest diseases have been found in New Zealand avocados ( Persea americana Miller): anthracnose, associated with Colletotrichum species, and stem‐end rots, associated with Botryosphaeria and Phomopsis species. Several Fusarium species have been also isolated from fruit rots. Scab ( Sphaceloma perseae Jenkins) is recorded for the first time on New Zealand avocados.
