Abstract

Hazelnut (Corylus avellana), which fruits are called hazelnut, is a tree of the family Corylaceae or Betulaceae, which grows mostly as a shrub, and less often as a lower tree, up to 7m high. Hazelnut has a great economic importance in human nutrition and in the confectionery industry, but it is also used as a decorative species in landscape architecture.
Hazelnut is a fruit that requires probably the least protection, but as more and more new plantings are being planted, it is very possible, as in the case of nuts, for diseases and pests to appear, which will significantly affect the health and yield of hazelnuts. The specific conditions required by this crop are increasingly a problem in the regions where it is grown. Climate problems affecting certain regions are causing enormous damage to culture. The hot waves, storms and droughts that result from climate change cause a number of diseases in hazelnuts such as powdery mildew, bacterial blight, grey mold, leaf spot and others. Alternatives are sought in regions where the impact of climate change is less so that this crop can be grown, experiment with hybrid seedlings that are more resistant to disease and more.
