Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica) is cultivated as a fruit crop because its fruit possesses valuable properties. The total area of Japanese quince in Latvia is continuously increasing; therefore, fruit rot can become an important reason of yield loss. The aim of this study was to clarify the fruit rot incidence in Japanese quince plantations in Latvia and explore the influencing factors of rot development in the year 2017. The evaluation of fruit rot was carried out during the fruit development in eight places of different regions of Latvia where Japanese quince is grown commercially. Three plantations of different Japanese quince cultivars in Dobele and seven plantations where Japanese quince is grown from seedlings were observed. Fruit rot incidence among plantations had no significant differences. Statistically significant differences in fruit rot incidence depending on quince growth stage (p is less than 0.05) were found. Significant differences in fruit rot incidence were found between cultivars in Dobele.
