  around 15 o C and the closer the temperature is to this, the shorter the leaf wetness period that is required. Inside the plant, the pathogens produce [...] small organs with which the pathogen can take up nutrients from the living plant cells. The pathogens continue to grow inside the leaves and after a while [...] brown. On the underside of the leave fluffy growth appears which is first white and later turns grey-brown. This is actually the sporulation of the pathogens

• Macrocheles robustulus

The mites appear in and on the soil and at [...] 3 x 0.2 mm in size and pearly white. Best conditions for use of Macrocheles robustulus For optimal results the soil has to be moist, rich in organic matter [...] (not on the plastic) The dosage of Macro-Mite depends on climate, crop, planting medium and pest density and should always be adjusted to the particular
