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...

The PotCast - Syngenta's Professional Horticulture PodcastMeasures for MildewsBotrytis 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.

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...

2021-04-0736 minThe PotCast - Syngenta's Professional Horticulture PodcastUnderstanding how fungicides workUnderstanding 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...
2021-04-0603 minThe PotCast - Syngenta's Professional Horticulture PodcastAmino acids as an antidote to stressWhile 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...

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.

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.
