Effect of COVID-19 on the phytosanitary condition and commercialization of avocado in Jalisco. Rev. mex. fitopatol [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.spe, pp.362-371.  Epub 30-Nov-2022.

Avocado crop (Persea americana) in Ciudad Guzmán, Jalisco, Mexico, is affected by pests and diseases that have worsened with the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. Damage to fruits has increased due to the reduction of the workforce by more than half, which restricts crop sampling and the timely control of pests. Furthermore, the closure of businesses and the consequent lack of agricultural inputs have affected the management and profitability of avocado crop. The restricted access to markets such as Monterrey, Mexico City and Guadalajara has also affected avocado availability.

Palabras llave : SARS-CoV-2; agriculture; fruit cultivation; plant health.
