Benchmarking models, aerial spore sampling, irrigation and nutrients for downy mildew of lettuce and white blister on brassicas
This poster describes the aim of project VG07070, which was to determine the economics of managing downy and powdery mildew and white blister using aerial spore sampling, disease predictive models, irrigation and nutrients. Preliminary findings are reported, eg there were lower levels of disease with dawn irrigation and higher levels of disease with evening irrigation.
