is a soilborne plasmodiophorid that causes powdery scab and root gall formation in potato. In this study, 18 cover crops suitable for use in dry, high-altitude potato production regions were assessed in potting mix trials to determine whether these cover crops altered population levels. Although appeared to invade roots of all plant species tested, the pathogen was unable to complete its life cycle on 11 of 18 cover crops based on postharvest qPCR and microscopy results. Buckwheat, legumes, and scarlet barley do not appear to support pathogen replication, but the pathogen may be able to complete its life cycle in some mustards. High variability occurred in the experiments and part of this may be due to the natural infestations of peat-based potting mix with . A tomato bioassay was used to confirm that commercial sources of peat-based potting mix were infested with . Dry heat and autoclaving were tested as sanitation methods and multiple rounds of autoclaving were required to reduce viable in potting mix. A second cover crop experiment with autoclaved potting mix was conducted and it confirmed that buckwheat, legumes, and barley do not support replication but that some brassica crops may be hosts of this pathogen. The results suggest that buckwheat, legumes, and barley pose the least risk as cover crops in infested fields and show that peat-based potting mix should not be used in seed potato production.

Micro-nanoscale polystyrene co-exposure impacts the uptake and translocation of arsenic and boscalid by lettuce (Lactuca sativa).

The influence of micro-nanoplastics (MNPs) on the fate and effects of other pollutants present in the environment is largely unknown. This study evaluated if the root exposure to MNPs (polystyrene, PS; 20 or 1000 nm) had an impact on the accumulation of arsenic and boscalid (As and Bos) in lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Under hydroponic conditions, plants were co-exposed to MNPs at 10 or 50 mg/L, and to 1 mg/L of each environmental pollutant (EP).

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).
