Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Decreasing irrigation frequency significantly slowed Phytophthora capsici disease progress in squash.
- Intervention effect Decreasing irrigation frequency delayed the onset of Phytophthora capsici disease in squash.
- Intervention effect Decreasing irrigation frequency significantly reduced final Phytophthora capsici symptom severity on squash shoots and roots.
- Intervention effect Yields in infested soil irrigated every 14 and 21 days did not differ from noninfested controls.
- Intervention effect Yield in infested soil irrigated every 7 days was 40% of the yield in the corresponding controls.
- Observation Yield losses from direct fruit infection by P. capsici were limited to 20% by weight.
- Intervention effect Without the pathogen, irrigation frequency had no significant effect on squash yield or plant water potential.
- Observation Squash plants irrigated less often extracted water from deeper soil layers.
- Recommendation Less frequent furrow irrigation is an effective way to reduce losses from P. capsici in squash fields in California.
