Goji pests and diseases
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2015 12:01 amHi all
Not much was published about this subject.
In Ontario, pests of goji include potato leafhopper, Japanese beetle, thrips, aphids and spider mites. Spotted wing drosophila adults have been present in production fields though extent of fruit infestation by larvae was seen.
Diseases included anthracnose, early blight, and powdery mildew. Blossom end rot was an issue as well if moisture levels were uneven.
Aphids and a gall mite have been problematic in various places.
Birds were reported to have an affinity for the fruit
I wonder why viruses were not reported as these affect the Solanaceae species
