e0“Airborne spores were detected in both orchards”
e1“Gnomoniopsis castanea is an emerging pathogen of Castanea species, causing nut rot, bark cankers, and leaf necrosis, while also existing asymptomatically as an endophyte. This study evaluated the presence of G. castanea spores in two chestnut orchards in Trás-os-Montes (Sobreiró, Vinhais) and assessed the effect of copper-based fungicides in reducing inoculum levels in leaves and burrs.”
