Development Of A Disease Indexing Package To Predict Crop Losses In Peas & Beetroot
Due to crop specialisation associated with the production of processing crops, soil-borne disease problems can progressively increase. These are seen as establishment problems or lower productivity. A technique for indexing disease severity in soil was developed for both beetroot and pea crops. By using different fungicide seed dressings, it was possible to focus on the potential of different organisms.
