Information on cultural controls as well as chemical and biological plant protection products for both outdoor and under-cover leafy salad and baby-leaf crops was provided

In this webinar we covered:

• Common leaf and root diseases – identifications and methods of spread
• Cultural control measures – hygiene, environmental management, and variety selection
• Plant protection products – available products, application timings and methods
