Episode 4 | Golf, Muslim Women and Breaking Down Barriers
When Amir Malik and Alastair Spink joined forces to create opportunities for Muslim women to experience golf, they weren’t quite sure what to expect. But when their first event in Birmingham sold out in the space of 12 hours, they were blown away. Fast forward to the event itself and the reaction of those taking part, and they knew there was potential for something much bigger. This led to the roll out of a series events across the United Kingdom attracting the interest of over 1,200 women.

Keeping Botrytis in check
Cool, damp conditions at this time of year increase the risk from a range of foliar diseases including rusts, leaf spots and powdery and downy mildews – whether on crops such as pansy and viola, cyclamen or primula; or on stock being overwintered, in unheated tunnels for example. One that’s particularly damaging and difficult to manage is Botrytis, which is why I’m having a look at it in this first blog on the disease issues you need to be on top of through autumn and winter.

Rusts under Restraint
Rust diseases can strike at most times of the year but, like Botrytis and mildews which we featured in my last two blogs, they can be a particular problem in glasshouses and polytunnels during the colder months when it’s often a challenge to keep crops well ventilated and humidity under control. Rusts are caused by a huge group of fungal pathogens. There are well over 150 genera, Puccinia being the most significant. Estimates of the number of species vary but run to many thousands. Most of them, however, are highly specialised, having evolved to grow on just on...

Measures for Mildews
Botrytis is just one of the foliar diseases that pose a risk in the cool, damp conditions Two others to watch out for are powdery mildew and downy mildew. Despite their similar names they’re completely unrelated: powdery mildews are fungi while downy mildews are oomycetes, the same group of micro-organisms as those troublesome root diseases Pythium and Phytophthora. Oomycetes share some of the superficial characteristics of fungi but much of their genetics and biochemistry are totally different.

Time to Tackle Spider Mite
One pest that seems to have generated more than its fair share of enquiries is Tetranychus urticae, glasshouse red spider mite which is also known as two-spotted spider mite. Outbreaks are usually worst at the end of summer but this year the spell of hot dry weather we saw in spring may well have triggered some infestations. It’s a pest favoured by warm, dry conditions either under protection or, despite its common name, on outdoor ornamentals. It can be a particular issue in glasshouses thanks to its rapid lifecycle – around 12 days at 21°C – where it can be activ...

Understanding how fungicides work
Understanding how fungicides work – their mode of action – not only helps in the design of spray programmes when new diseases or resistant strains of pathogen appear, it helps you minimise the risk of fungicide resistance evolving in the first place. Have a look at my earlier blogs on insecticide resistance, as the principles behind resistance management are similar for insecticides and fungicides. As the number of active substances authorised for horticultural use contracts, it’s vital to use treatments in a way that prolongs their effectiveness but delays or avoids the occurrence of resistance. As with insecticide resistan...

Amino acids as an antidote to stress
While plants can respond to protect themselves, at least in the short term, those responses take energy and can shut down some important parts of their metabolism, inevitably taking their toll on growth and development. Even when the stress is eliminated, the crop may never catch up so quality suffers with consequences for plant performance in the garden or landscape. An element of the stress response that is increasingly well understood is how it affects plant proteins. Proteins form the structural elements of cells and tissues but they’re also the enzymes that control all of...

Take the Stress out of Plant Health
A relatively new type of plant health product which complements both crop protection and nutrition, biostimulants are set to play an increasing role in integrated pest and disease management programmes for ornamentals. Because they have no direct effect on pests or diseases they fall outside the scope of plant protection legislation, but you still need to take care to source products from manufacturers who can provide the research and trials evidence to back their claims. Most reputable suppliers, including Syngenta, belong to the European Biostimulants Industry Council (www.biostimulants.eu). Biostimulants can include various substances...

Controlling root diseases is something not to be forgotten. This gives you more detail into the "behind the scenes" Root diseases caused by species of the oomycete pathogens Pythium and Phytophthora are particularly difficult to manage. Although they share some characteristics with fungi, some aspects of their biology and biochemistry are dissimilar meaning only certain fungicides, such as Subdue, have a mode of action able to control them. Different Pythium and Phytophthora species grow best at different temperatures: some Pythium species can grow and spread at below 15°C. Want to k...

Ornamental crops can come under stress of one kind or another at any time but spring is arguably when it’s most likely. Tender young shoots and buds will still be at risk from cold damage at that point in the year whether plants are on the nursery or in transit in the supply chain. It’s the stress caused by overheating, lack of water and too much or too little light, however, that can be more difficult to spot and manage.
