   Author : André Åbonde; [2023]
   Keywords : Biological control; Oilseed rape; Clonostachys rosea; Verticillium longisporum; Verticllium stem striping disease;

   Abstract : The cultivation of oilseed rape faces challenges caused by pests and pathogens, and soil-borne pathogens such as Plasmodiaphora brassicae (clubroot) are among the main causes of disease. Verticillium longisporum is another soil-borne pathogen, which causes the verticillium stem striping disease in Brassica plants, including oilseed rape. READ MORE

6. 5. Investigating fungicide resistance of Alternaria solani, a Solanaceae pathogen, on potato crops in south-eastern Sweden and its relationship with soil

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

   Author : Emma Lefèvre; [2023]
   Keywords : Alternaria solani; fungicide resistance; Fluopyram; mycelial growth; type of soil; soil conditions;

   Abstract : Alternaria solani is a worldwide present fungus that can cause a lot of damage such as early blight in potato crops. Potato can suffer a lot of yield losses because of this pathogen, and the main method used today to fight against it, is the application of fungicides. READ MORE
