Environmental effects on flower blight pathogens

2021 | Akinsanmi F, Prassannath K, Galea VJ | Article

Flower blights (grey mould, green mould and dry flower) are important diseases of macadamia. Lack of information on pathogen biology and disease epidemiology in macadamia has hampered control options. Effects of climatic variables including temperature, relative humidity (RH) and vapour pressure deficit (VPD) on the abundance, germination and growth of conidia of four fungal pathogens that cause various flower blights in macadamia were studied.
