Stem rot

Stem rot represents a group of dangerous fungal infections that affect both vegetable crops in protected soil and a wide range of ornamental plants. For agronomists and home gardeners, timely detection of these diseases is critical, as the development of pathogens on stems can lead to the rapid death of the entire plant and significant harvest losses. Understanding the mechanisms of infection spread, such as didymellosis or gray mold, allows for timely measures to limit the pathogen and maintain the viability of plantings.

The presented selection of articles examines in detail the key aspects of controlling rot and other common diseases. You will find expert reviews of symptoms affecting tomatoes, cucumbers, and indoor ornamental crops, as well as information on diagnostic methods and current plant protection practices. The materials will help systematize knowledge about physiological disorders and fungal infections, enabling you to effectively organize the monitoring of plant health and respond promptly upon the appearance of the first signs of disease in a greenhouse or home conservatory.
