Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect C. acutatum infestation delayed strawberry runner production.
- Observation Infested mother plants had no obvious other disease symptoms.
- Intervention effect Nursery drip irrigation reduced field plant losses by 86% at Watsonville in 2005.
- Intervention effect Nursery drip irrigation reduced field plant losses by 50% at Oxnard in 2005.
- Intervention effect Nursery drip irrigation reduced field plant losses by 75% at Oxnard in 2008.
- Intervention effect Transplants from infested nurseries had 33% to 60% smaller canopies.
- Intervention effect Transplants from infested nurseries had 11% to 42% lower yield.
- Intervention effect Canopy size after infested drip-irrigated nursery treatment resembled uninfested sprinkler controls.
- Intervention effect Yield after infested drip-irrigated nursery treatment resembled uninfested sprinkler controls.
- Intervention effect At seven weeks, sprinkler nursery plants had about elevenfold more crown C. acutatum than drip nursery plants.
- Observation Crown C. acutatum increased during fruit production in all treatments.
- Intervention effect At season end, sprinkler nursery plants had about eightfold more crown C. acutatum than drip nursery plants.
- Recommendation The authors conclude drip irrigation can reduce subsequent strawberry stunting and yield loss when the pathogen is present.
