We conducted laboratory experiments to assess the disease control effects of pH-decreasing fertilizer as a new control material for lettuce big-vein disease. Results show that the occurrence of big-vein disease was suppressed in concomitance with the descent of soil pH by applying the fertilizer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
