If damping-off occurs, reduce watering, remove shade and, if possible, protect the plants from rain by moving the seed trays under cover, or covering the beds with plastic sheets, during heavy showers. ❋ Unknown (1999)
In bio-engineering nurseries, where soil sterilisation and extensive use of fungicides are not normally practised, prevention and control of damping-off depends on good nursery techniques. ❋ Unknown (1999)
If fungicides are available, they can be used to help prevent damping-off spreading to other plants but they will not have much effect once it is well developed. ❋ Unknown (1999)
If it is used when it is not necessary, for example during spells of cool cloudy weather, the beds may become too moist and this often leads to the development of damping-off disease. ❋ Unknown (1999)
Two fungal diseases are important in nurseries in Nepal: damping-off and brown needle disease. ❋ Unknown (1999)
Amaranth is susceptible to damping-off disease, root rot, caterpillars and stem borers. ❋ Unknown (1996)
Not all composts are created equal ... at least with respect to their abilities to suppress damping-off (a fungus disease which kills seedlings soon after they emerge). ❋ Unknown (1996)
Recent research at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center has shown that organic materials composted at high temperatures (above 140 F) can actually be conducive to damping-off due to Pythium ultimum. ❋ Unknown (1996)
Adequate drainage should also be provided to avoid damping-off (soil-borne disease that destroys seedlings). ❋ Unknown (1993)
The most common disease problem in seedlings is damping-off, caused by several soil fungi and some bacteria that rot the plant roots or stems at the soil line (Figure 13.23). ❋ Unknown (1991)
In addition, researchers suggest soaking seeds overnight in WCE before planting to prevent damping-off fungus ❋ Unknown (1991)
Lack of oxygen can kill the seed or seedling and encourages damping-off fungi which can also be fatal (section 13.4). ❋ Unknown (1991)
· Waterlogged soil due to overwatering or poor drainage causes damping-off. ❋ Unknown (1991)
Adding compost can reduce damping-off problems because compost contains many active soil organisms, some of which compete with and reduce the damping-off fungi. ❋ Unknown (1991)
For example, studies in Mexico of soil in indigenous fields showed that those soils suppressed damping-off disease caused by fungi significantly more than did soils from industrially farmed fields. 70 ❋ Unknown (1991)
Wiliwili seedlings may be susceptible to damping-off problems. ❋ Unknown (1990)
Fungal diseases occur in nurseries, the most serious being damping-off caused by Pythium or Rhizoctonia spp. ❋ Unknown (1985)
During a monsoon rainy season, for example, damping-off from Pythium and Rhizoctonia is most serious. ❋ Unknown (1984)
Newly germinated seedlings are highly susceptible to damping-off. ❋ Unknown (1983)
He observed that thin-shelled nuts germinate more quickly than thick-shelled ones, and warned against "damping-off" fungi which often killed young seedlings. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
