White blister (Albugo candida) is the most important foliar disease of brassica crops in Australia. The disease can affect all stages of plant growth, but its greatest impact is on infected flower heads, resulting in substantial losses to yield and higher costs in sorting. This Horticulture Australia project aimed to evaluate fungicides for white blister control (Albugo candida) and to expedite the registration of suitable fungicides in Australia for white blister control on brassica and leafy brassica crops.
Conclusions :
Acknowledments : This project has been facilitated by Horticulture Australia Limited, and has been funded by voluntary contributions from Syngenta Crop Protection Pty Ltd and the Australian Government. Nufarm Australia Limited and Agrichem Industries Pty Ltd also contributed voluntary contributions in the first year for preliminary screening of their fungicides. The assistance of broccoli growers who provided the trial sites in Tasmania and Werribee South, Victoria, is gratefully acknowledged. |
