How to prevent Verticillium wilt Start with clean soil or substrate by heating it at a temperature if at least 65 o C for a minimum of 30 [...] beginning the plant seems to recover at night. The symptoms may occur only in parts of the plant. Cutting the stalk horizontally reveals a slight discolouration [...] stream. As a defence mechanism, the plant produces gum in the vessels. The presence of both the fungus and the gum causes the xylem vessels to get blocked

• Apple collar rot

  are spores with flagellae, which enable them to move through water. Infection is usually from the root to the foot, but direct infection of the foot also [...] wetness is required. Dispersal by wind and rain causes the pathogen to be returned to the soil from infected plants. Dispersal in the soil happens via water [...] the soil or substrate is higher than normal or optimal for crop growth. How to prevent Apple collar rot Apply hygiene measures, like cleaning machinery

• Wheat bunt

  the whole kernel becomes a bunt ball full of teliospores. These balls break during harvest allowing the teliospores to fall to the ground. Additionaly, [...] e of around 6 to 7 °C during that period. Soil moisture between field capacity and permanent wilting point is best for infection. How to prevent Wheat [...] healthy kernels, which in turn become a source of disease in the next season. Infection is strongly correlated to temperature and precipitation in the first

• Tobacco whitefly

Dirt adheres to the fruit, and the growth of sooty [...] symptoms The larvae of whitefly need a lot of protein for growth, and thus consume a large quantity of plant sap. This contains a high proportion of sugar, and [...] return to the underside of the leaves. The adult tobacco whitefly ( Bemisia tabaci ) has well-developed piercing-sucking mouthparts and begins to feed on

The most direct damage is caused by the larvae mining the leaf tissue, leading to desiccation, premature [...] lead to burning in fruit such as tomato and melon. Loss of leaves also reduces yield. In full-grown plants of fruiting vegetable crops, however, a considerable [...] join to form small plates. In various other crops one finds intermediate forms of tunnelling between these ‘plate mines’ and normal mines, making it an

Life cycle [...] Black leg of seedlings Pythium belongs to the Oomycetes, a separate group of microorganisms and is therefore not a real fungus. It survives as oospores, [...] disease to spread to neighbouring plants. The zoospores disperse via water. Therefore, this disease spreads most rapidly in wet conditions with a high (>70%)
