Abstract
Verticillium wilt [caused by Verticillium albo-atrum] of strawberries (F. .times. ananassa) was found in central Florida for the 1st time in 1981. Surveys showed that all infected plants came from 2 nursery fields in Michigan. The greatest percentage of wilt occurred in plants that were grown in soil that had grown potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) the previous year and was fumigated with 98% methyl bromide + 2% chloropicrin rather than 67% methyl bromide + 33% chloropicrin before setting the strawberries. A formulation of 50% methyl bromide + 50% chloropicrin at 420-470 kg/ha is recommended for control.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
