• Bacterial soft rot, bacterial stem rot

  wilt at the time of first harvest or after that. The pith disintegrates and the stem becomes hollow. Because of the bacterial growth in the pith, the stem [...] seems wet and slimy. Above or below the hollow stem the vascular tissue keeps its normal colour. On the fruits, lesions first are small and sunken, wa [...] water-soaked and light to dark brown. They are adjacent to wounds and natural openings at the stem end. Later the fruit becomes soft and lesion contents

• Apple scab

  petioles and fruits and sometimes on twigs and bud scales. The lesions are olive-green. When spores are produced, the lesions become grey and fluffy. The lesions [...] through the cuticula. The asexual conidia are released and repeat the cycle of infection of new plant parts and spore production. In autumn, the fungus [...] wind-dispersed to the fruit trees and will germinate if free water is available. They infect the plant by direct penetration of the cuticula and then grow between

Subsequently, the bacteria will [...] pathogens for nutrients and space. This will further inhibit the growth of other pathogens. Furthermore, the bacteria will stimulate the plant to start resistance [...] infecting the young plant. Cerall not only protects the seeds against seed-borne diseases. It also empowers the plant to speed up seedling emergence and reduces

The calcium in the product can easily be taken up by the plant. Pack size 5 and 20 litre containers. Presentation Light brown [...] Mix thoroughly Add the remaining amount of water Apply immediately after preparation The pH of the solution should be between 5 and 7 Application Apply

• Gummy stem blight

  recognized from the outside by the small narrowing of the tip of the mature fruits. The symptoms on stems, leaves and inside the fruits may occur together [...] through the flowers. The newly produced ascospores are dispersed by air and the conidiospores by water drops, tools and hands of workers. The ascospores [...] wounds, hydathodes (the end of leaf veins) or the hair bases. Stems are infected through wounds and by the infected leaves through the petioles. Fruits are

The assumption is that the bacteria survive in the soil, but [...] of the plant resulting from the Rhizobium infection. Rhizobium rhizogenes puts a Ri-plasmid in the plant tissue and causes a genetic change in the plant [...] species cause the growth of galls on the stems, which are first white and later turn brown. Only Rhizobium radiobacter causes galls and tumours on underground

They are durable and will last for several seasons. The flat base to the trap design aids stability during inspection and re-filling [...] attractive to the pest and the mesh openings are large enough for the fruit fly but will keep out unwanted by-catch of larger insects such as bees and wasps/hornets

The IPM cycle is an ongoing process that incorporates the principles mentioned above. It's a dynamic approach that adapts to changing [...] It reduces the reliance on chemical pesticides, which can have adverse effects on both crops and the environment.

Subsequently, the bacteria will [...] affect the crop in a later stage. Cerall offers a powerful weapon to protect the seeds against these pathogens while strengthening the plant at the same [...] on the seeds. The bacteria present in Cerall will stay inactive when the seeds are stored dry. After sowing, when water availability increases, the bacteria
