Ascochyta blight is a dangerous fungal disease affecting a wide range of crops, including cucumber, tomato, and grain legumes. The pathogen can spread rapidly in greenhouse conditions, causing significant damage to yield. For an agronomist and a plant production specialist, it is crucial to diagnose the infection in the early stages, understand the biological characteristics of the pathogen, and implement a competent combination of agrotechnical practices with chemical and biological plant protection methods for crops.
This selection contains materials covering a comprehensive approach to phytosanitary control. Readers will find information on methods for soil and greenhouse structure disinfection, fumigation technologies, and rules for applying modern biological products such as Trichoderma, Bacto-fit, and Alirin-B. In addition to specific recommendations for controlling Ascochyta blight, the articles disclose principles of protecting crops from concomitant pathogens — root rots, fusarium wilt, grey mold, and powdery mildew. The presented methodologies allow for the construction of an effective system for disease prevention and plant protection, minimizing the risks of harvest losses in protected and open soil.
