List of durian diseases and pests

Durians are an agricultural product affected by many plant pathogens and pests. Most of the information here concerns Durio zibethinus, the major commercial species, but a dozen species in the genus Durio are edible durians, and several of those are also grown commercially and these diseases can concern them as well.

Algae

Animals

Vertebrates

These are animals that eat or destroy durian fruit or trees. Many of these are shot or poisoned by farmers.[6] Some of these species naturally act as seed dispersers,[7] which benefits the plant but does not benefit farmers.

Invertebrates

Most of these are arthropods, but nematodes and gastropods are also of concern.[3]

Arthropods

Other invertebrates

Bacteria

Fungi

Fungi affect both the tree before harvest and the fruit after harvest. Some listed species may only cause cosmetic damage, or the association is unknown.

Oomycetes

Oomycetes are often confused with fungi.

Plants

Some plants growing on durian trees can be problematic or even parasitic.

  • dragon scales (Drymoglossum piloselloides)[1]
  • mistletoe (Elytranthe barnesii)[1]
  • mistletoe (Loranthus pentandrus)[1]

Non-pathogenic epiphytes and symbiotes

These species live on or in durian trees as epiphytes but typically do not harm the tree or fruit. However, Trentepohlia species can grow thick enough to block lenticels and inhibit ramiflorous flowering.[2]

Hyperparasites and secondary associations

Hyperparasitism is when durian parasites become the hosts for other parasites.
