 Introduction
Your squash crop faces many obstacles: weather,
pests, disease. Among the diseases affecting squash,
powdery mildew and viruses can be very destructive
and difficult to control.
For years, chemical control of vectors was the
primary means of limiting loss to viral diseases
like ZYMV. Chemicals still play a major role today
in disease control, though they are very costly.
To protect profits, growers turn to squash varieties
with disease tolerance built-in, not added on.
Disease tolerance means less reliance on expensive
chemicals. It also means disease control from the
start for a healthier, more profitable crop. |
