Root rots represent one of the most serious threats to the productivity of crops and ornamental plants in both open field and protected soil. These diseases are caused by various groups of pathogenic fungi that infect the root system at different stages of plant development — from seedlings to the period of active fruiting. Untimely diagnostics and the lack of preventive measures lead to significant harvest losses and a reduction in the quality of marketable produce, which makes the control of rots a key task in the cultivation technology of vegetable and grain crops.
This collection contains practical material that will help agronomists and plant production specialists effectively cope with fungal infections. The articles cover issues of early diagnostics of root rots in tomato and cucumber transplants, methods of plant protection in greenhouse conditions, and modern ways of disease prevention. In addition, readers will learn about the application technology of biological products based on fungi of the Trichoderma genus, which are an effective tool in the biological plant protection system. The presented recommendations will allow for the systematization of knowledge about the biological characteristics of pathogens and the implementation of effective agrotechnical control methods to maintain the health of plantings.
