Modified plant architecture to enhance crop disease control: genetic control and possible value of upright fruit position in cucumber

2013-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Plant architectural features can facilitate disease control by creating unfavourable environments for pathogen growth or limiting pathogen contact with the host. In the case of Phytophthora capsici infection of cucumber (Cucumis sativus), the susceptible fruit typically lie in contact with soil under warm, moist conditions of a full canopy, an ideal location for exposure to inoculum and disease development. We hav...
