Effective management of vegetable diseases starts by understanding how pathogens are transmitted, what environmental conditions are favorable for disease, and what crops may be more susceptible to a particular pathogen. Education on these areas is key, therefore we have developed a series of fact sheets describing several vegetable diseases and providing information on how to manage the pathogens causing them. If there are fact sheets for specific diseases that you would like to see published in the future, don’t hesitate to contact us.
