Aeromycological Insights: Unveiling the World of Cereal Crop Pathogens

22 September, 2023

In the new scientific paper supported by SoildiverAgro, researchers from the Department of Plant Biology and Soil Sciences at the University of Vigo, Spain, and the Department of Microbiology and Virology at the University of Habana, Cuba, dive deep into the world of aeromycological studies in cereal crops. These studies are crucial in understanding the temporal variation of plant pathogens affecting crops like corn, wheat, rice or oats. Moreover, they help determine the best times to apply fungicides, a critical…
