Sustainable integrated control of foliar diseases in greenhouse vegetables
This project involves the assessment of foliar diseases among cucumber, capsicum and eggplant crops in commercial greenhouses, in conjunction with the collection of climate data, in order to determine the environmental conditions conducive to the development of foliar diseases. The project is also investigating fungicides and other management options including resistant cultivars, modified environmental conditions and biological controls with the potential to form part of an integrated disease management program for the main diseases.
