Sunblotch (avocado sunblotch viroid): Twigs have a light yellow, sunken streak that follow the lenght of the twig. Fruits have white or yellow areas. Trees are stunted and have a sprawling growth habit. The pathogen is transmitted in budwood, graftwood, or seed from infected trees. Disease-free nursery stock should be used and trees with symptoms should be removed from the orchard.
