Integrated Management of Fusarium in Florists' Crops Sensitivity of Fusarium oxysporum from Ornamentals to Selected Fungicides
Subject:
Integrated Management of Fusarium in Florists’ Crops
Abstract:
Fusarium oxysporum can not only cause rot of roots, crown, and underground storage organs but also wilt, in most container and field-grown ornamentals. Severe outbreaks of diseases caused by the fungus consistently result in extensive production losses. Due to the high value and esthetic nature of ornamentals, a rigorous integrated disease management program including the preventive use of fungicides is essential.
