Biological Control of Diseases of Crops Grown in Covered and Environmentally Controlled Structures

  • Chapter
Biological Control of Plant Diseases

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 230))

Abstract

In the past half-century, major advances in control of plant diseases in covered and environmentally controlled structures occurred. Pathogen-free propagative material (Baker, 1957; Baker and Phillips, 1962; Davis et al., 1977; Phillips, 1968) insured exclusion of pathogens from hosts grown in confined areas. Because high income crops were grown in such structures, relatively expensive eradicative control measures (e.g., steaming, fumigation) were cost effective. Such advanced technology resulted in the highest degree of plant disease control in covered and environmentally controlled conditions in comparison with other field-oriented agricultural industries.
