Avocado supply chain dataset

Description

These data support the PhD thesis 'Epidemiology and community analysis of stem end rot-associated fungal pathogens and their impact on postharvest disease of commercial avocado (Persea americana)'. Fruit physiological and disease symptom data were collected from avocados provided by the Greencell fruit distribution centre at the end of the supply chain. Fruit mesocarp was imaged and samples from the stem end were plated for each avocado to match disease symptoms to potential pathogenic fungal morphotype.
