Consistent cultivar\u2010dependent patterns were identified: \u2018Mardia\u2019, \u2018Penta\u2019, \u2018Vairo\u2019, \u2018Tardona\u2019, \u2018Marinada\u2019, \u2018Constant\u00ed\u2019, and \u2018Lauranne\u2019 showed low incidence, whereas \u2018Soleta\u2019, \u2018Marta\u2019, \u2018Guara\u2019, \u2018Tuono\u2019, \u2018Marcona\u2019, \u2018Francol\u00ed\u2019, and \u2018Tarraco\u2019 were among the most affected. Artificial inoculations confirmed marked cultivar differences, with incidence ranging from 0\u201311% in \u2018Marcona\u2019 to 28\u201378% in \u2018Soleta\u2019 and 36\u201381% in \u2018Tardona\u2019. Susceptibility across floral phenological stages followed a similar pattern in the three cultivars assessed, although with different infection intensities. Using \u2018Soleta\u2019 as an example, infection was highest at pre\u2010anthesis BBCH 58\/Felipe D (88.9%) and early anthesis BBCH 60\/Felipe F1 (80.6%) and declined by late anthesis BBCH 65\/Felipe F2 (55.6%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Almond flower susceptibility to\n                      <jats:italic>M. laxa<\/jats:italic>\n                      is strongly cultivar\u2010 and phenology\u2010dependent.
