Fusarium wilt

Plant Health Virtual Conference: Fusarium Wilts of Flower Crops

Fusarium wilts are serious, lethal diseases that you hope never to see in your crops. Margery will share the stories behind the most feared Fusarium wilt diseases of chrysanthemum and cyclamen, and cover what we know about controlling them. And then there is a newer disease on Rieger begonias that falls into this category as well. And do you grow dianthus or gerbera? Basil or marigolds? Shastas or echeverias? Coreopsis or China aster? If so, Fusarium wilt is something you should learn more about. Learn recognition, cultural and chemical controls, and you will be prepared in the event of a Fusarium wilt disease.
