Spore trapTest kit
Development of in-field spore detection kit
Brassicaspot disease predictive model
• In-field spore test kit = sporulation of A. candida
![Page 9: Benchmarking the efficacy & economics of the …...Prof Roy Kennedy and Fiona Thomson White blister • Ist report on broccoli 2001-02 • Up to 100% crop losses • Complete change](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071016/5fcf783f438f0b40cb11aa83/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ConclusionEfficacy & economics• Weekly sprays > Models > Alternative• Models were effective in drier c/w wet conditions• Weekly Cu advantages/disadvantages• Incorporate post harvest treatments• Spore-test kit will improve efficacy of model
(sporulation & infection)
