Relative Contributions of Infected Transplants and Volunteers to the Population Biology of Stemphylium vesicarium in New York Onion Production.

Abstract excerpt

Stemphylium leaf blight (SLB), caused by the fungus Stemphylium vesicarium, is a devastating foliar disease affecting onions in New York state. Primary inoculum sources for SLB epidemics potentially include infected transplants used to establish crops and volunteer onions remaining from the previous season, but little is known about their relative contribution to the population biology of S. vesicarium. In this...
