Phytophthora parasitica was transmitted within 6 weeks from vinca (Catharanthus roseus) plants growing in infested potting mix, on the drain end of ebb-and-flow benches, to plants in noninfested potting mix. Transmission of Phytophthora was very low when potting mix was not pasteurized. When potting mix was steam pasteurized, infection of plants, disease incidence, and severity increased with time and decreased with distance from plants in infested pots. The cultivar Pretty in Pink was more susceptible to infection by P. parasitica than cv. Peppermint Cooler, allowing more rapid and severe disease development as well as pathogen dissemination and transmission. Pot spacing did not significantly affect transmission of P. parasitica on an ebb-and-flow bench.

The inhibitory effect of copper, zinc, and manganese on Legionella longbeachae in potting mix leachate.

Legionella longbeachae is the leading cause of Legionnaires' disease (LD) in Australasia and has been linked to exposure to compost and potting soils. Adding antimicrobial metal ions such as copper (Cu2+), zinc (Zn2+), and manganese (Mn2+) to potting soils may reduce the load of L. longbeachae bacteria and infection risk.

× , also known as common garden verbena, has an important ornamental value for their wide range of flower colors and for attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. During the winter of 2021-2022 (December through February), more than 50% pot-grown verbena plants showed symptoms of powdery mildew in a field trial at a Syngenta Crop Protection research facility in Vero Beach, FL. Symptoms were characterized by the development of white, superficial mycelium on the adaxial side of leaves which, eventually, progressed to covering the whole surface of leaves, causing leaf discoloration, shoot distortion, and eventual plant death.

Clubroot, a devastating soil borne disease affecting 30%∼50% of Brassicaceae crops worldwide, lacks effective control measures. In the present study, we explored the potential of melatonin (MT) and copper oxide nanoparticle (CuO-NPs) in mitigating clubroot severity in the Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis.

Severe typical deep-pitted lesions of Potato Common Scab (PCS) disease were observed in two locations in China, Dingxi, Gansu Province, and Shuozhou, Shaanxi Province, in 2021. Potato farms in Dingxi growing cultivar Huangxin 226 (26 hectares) exhibited a scab disease incidence of 10%, while cultivar Jinshu 15# (4 hectares) in Shuozhou showed a disease incidence of 30% (Fig. 1).
