Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to identify fungal pathogens associated with prickly pear rot and the main components of squamous rot on plantations in the semiarid region of the state of Paraíba, Brazil. Pathogens were identified morphologically. The determination of the main components of squamous rot intensity was based on the incidence and severity of the disease. Fifteen genera of fungi were associated with rot, including Scytalidium sp., which was found on all plantations. The analyses indicated that relative humidity and rainfall favored the intensity of rot more than temperature. At least three pathogens were found to be associated with a high incidence of rot in prickly pear species in the semiarid region of the state of Paraíba, Brazil, but Scytalidium sp. was the most widely distributed. Moreover, the disease caused by this fungus intensifies and progresses under conditions of high humidity at moderate temperatures. RESUMO Objetivou-se identificar os patógenos fúngicos associados às podridões de palma ‘Gigante’ e os componentes principais de intensidade da Podridão Escamosa em plantios no semiárido paraibano. Os patógenos foram identificados morfologicamente e os componentes principais de intensidade foram obtidos a partir da incidência e severidade da doença. Foram identificados quinze gêneros de patógenos fúngicos associados às podridões, dentre eles, Scytalidium sp., que estava em todos os plantios. A podridão escamosa progrediu significativamente e a associação entre clima e doença indicou que a umidade relativa do ar e a precipitação pluviométrica favoreceram mais a intensidade da doença nos plantios, do que a temperatura. Pelo menos três patógenos estão associados às podridões em palma ‘Gigante’ no semiárido paraibano com elevada incidência, mas a podridão escamosa (Scytalidium sp.) é a mais distribuída, pois se intensifica e progride devido a umidade elevada do ar em temperatura moderada.
