• Fusarium wilt

  Fusarium is widespread and can infect a range of host crops. Many species are considered weak pathogens and can only infect wounded or stressed host plants [...] greenhouse structures, tools and machinery. Primary infection is either seed-borne or takes place as infection of the roots at the root tip or in small wounds [...] Fusarium overwinters for many years in the soil and on crop residues of infected plants as chlamydospores (thick walled mycelium cells) or mycelium. Survival

• Powdery mildew

  react to powdery mildew infection by dropping leaves that are not infected yet. It depends on the cultivar how soon after infection this happens. In apple [...] the ears may also be infected. In pepper, the fluffy colonies occur mostly on the underside of the leaf, because the fungus infects the plant by entering [...] the fluffy fungal growth so typical of powdery mildew. Only in pepper, infection (by Leveillula taurica ) is through the stomata and the fungus grows inside

• Beneficial microorganisms

  microorganisms for pest control How it works Infection and colonization: Beneficial microorganisms start by infecting their insect hosts. The fungi produce spores [...] the fungal infection, the fungus continues to grow. Eventually, it produces more spores, which can be released into the environment to infect other pests [...] microorganisms play a crucial role in biological pest control by effectively infecting and controlling harmful pests. Beneficial microorganisms for pest control

• Pepino mosaic virus

  It prevents infection by more severe strains It reduces symptom severity and economic damage How V10 Works After application: V10 infects the plant in [...] visible. Symptom development Symptoms can appear within 1–3 weeks, but infections may remain mild or unnoticed. Transmission PepMV spreads mainly through [...] through hands, tools, clothing, and plant contact. Even minimal contact can infect new plants. Survival The virus can persist on surfaces, equipment, and plant

• Black leg of seedlings

  water. They infect the roots through small wounds, where the side roots are formed or through other similarly damaged spots. On the infected plant, new [...] Damage symptoms Pythium affects roots, in particular those of seedlings. Infected plants lag in growth. Seedlings fall over (‘ damping-off ’). In slightly [...] soil or substrate the plant turns brown. A typical symptom of a Pythium infection is the easy stripping of the skin from the root cortex with a finger nail

• Damping-off

  water. They infect the roots through small wounds, where the side roots are formed or through other similarly damaged spots. On the infected plant, new [...] Damage symptoms Pythium affects roots, in particular those of seedlings. Infected plants lag in growth. Seedlings start falling over, also called ‘damping-off’ [...] soil or substrate the plant turns brown. A typical symptom of a Pythium infection is the easy stripping of the skin from the root cortex with a finger nail

• Downy mildew of Cucurbits

  pumpkin, watermelon and squash. Damage symptoms Downy mildew pathogens infect mostly the leaves but occasionally also stems and fruits. They cause lesions [...] in downy mildews, sporangia often germinate directly and the germ tubes infect the plants either through the stomata or directly by penetrating the cuticula

• V10

  c PepMV isolates VC1 and VX1 become established throughout the plant. Infection by other PepMV isolates is severely compromised due to its degradation [...] equipped with a high level of protection against subsequent attempted infections by virulent PepMV strains. Pack size 0.8 litre bottle. Formulation Liquid

• Capsanem

  days after infection. Visual effect Infected pests are generally difficult to find. Infected foliar pests simply fall to the ground. Infected pest insects [...] 500 million – 10 sachets of 250 million in a box. Developmental stage Infective third-stage larvae (L3). Concentration 86% Steinernema carpocapsae – 14%

• Beneficial nematodes

  quickly multiply, causing septicemia (a lethal blood infection) in the host insect. Bacterial infection: The bacteria secret toxins and antimicrobial compounds [...] essential for nutrient recycling. Others are called parasitic nematodes, infecting plants, insects, animals, or humans. There are about 25.000 named species [...] days. The host becomes immobile and eventually dies due to the bacterial infection. Feeding and reproduction: The nematodes feed on the multiplying bacteria
