Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Ramularia rhei was better adapted to temperatures at or below 25°C, with an optimum around 20°C.
- Observation Ascochyta rhei was more adapted to temperatures at or above 15°C, with an optimum above 25°C.
- Observation R. rhei colonies grew faster than A. rhei colonies on leaf discs at temperatures at or below 25°C.
- Recommendation The authors recommend identifying the causal agent to estimate rhubarb spot disease risk accurately.
