In strawberry the harmful plant fungus Mucor has been showing up. A sharp increase in the number of reports has been observed in recent years.
General introductionIn 2024, problems with foliar nematodes were first identified in strawberry cultivation. These nematodes caused significant crop damage: plants grew poorly and even died, and l...
How can we successfully reuse substrates derived from strawberry (mainly peat), vegetables (perlite), but also from ornamental crops (coir and peat substrates)?
