	Disease resistance in fruit and vegetables - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Disease resistance in fruit and vegetables; There are a number of lines of defence against pests (that is, those animals that cause damage to the plants we grow) and diseases in the organic garden, principle among these being the practice of good husbandry, creating healthy soil and ensuring high standards of garden hygiene.
		Celery resistant to the Fusarium fungus (Fusarium oxysporum spp.
		A lettuce cultivar that is resistant to mosaic virus may be sensitive to corky root disease (caused by Rhizobius suberfaciens), whilst another that resists corky root may be vulnerable to downy mildew (Brim lactic).

	Pest Alerts - Bacterial Fruit Blotch of Watermelon, DPI - FDACS
		Bacterial fruit blotch is caused by Acidovorax avenae subsp.
		Bacterial fruit blotch disease development is favored by warm wet weather such as exists in Florida in May-June during the spring watermelon season and August-September during the fall watermelon season.
		Disease symptoms on foliage can progress throughout the growing season and may not be particularly obvious or may be confused with other diseases.

	VEGETABLES
		It's fun to experiment with new crops, but resist the urge to introduce too many new or unusual vegetables; limit yourself to one or two cultivars that are new to you per year.
		Vegetables at the end of the season are of lesser quality and more likely to be infected with disease and require more handling prior to preservation.
		Larger vegetables, such as melons, squashes and cucumbers are planted in mounds of soil about 1 foot in diameter and 6 to 10 feet apart depending on the crop.

	IPM : Reports on Plant Diseases : Illinois Corn Disease Management Program
		Approximately 30 different diseases are known to cause economic loss of yield and grain quality to corn in Illinois.
		Diseases are often most severe where there is an excess of nitrogen and/or a lack of potassium.
		Disease control programs are based on an understanding of host and pathogen biology and the factors involved in infection and disease development.

	Fruit
		Whole fruit and fruit and vegetable juice, which are high in potassium, are recommended by some doctors for CHF; however, this dietary change should be discussed with a healthcare provider, because several drugs given to people with CHF can actually cause retention of potassium, making dietary potassium, even from fruit, dangerous.
		A high-fiber diet, particularly one that is high in water-soluble fiber (such as fruit), is associated with decreased risk of both fatal and nonfatal heart attacks, probably because presence of such fiber is known to lower cholesterol.
		Healthy people were assigned to either a diet containing a pound (454 grams) of fruits and vegetables per day, or to a diet containing three and a half ounces (100g) of fruits and vegetables per day.

		Fruits and vegetables are among the best sources for many of the macro and micronutrients that are important for good nutrition.
		Although fruits and vegetables are widely recognized as a great source of important nutrients, the fruits and vegetables that people actually consume most, such as iceberg lettuce and potatoes, are among those that have the lowest levels of beneficial phytonutrients.
		In addition to disease resistance, many of the traits that Ceres has developed for application in row crops will be of significant benefit to fruits and vegetables as well.

	IPM : Fruits : Verticillium Wilt of Strawberry
		Infection and disease development occur when the soil temperatures are between 53° and 86°F (12° and 30°C), with an optimum of 70° to 75°F (21° to 24°C).
		This cost is offset by larger yields of better quality fruit, control of soil pests (primarily weeds), and extended life of the planting.

	Enhancing Fruit and Vegetable Quality for Small Farm Systems in the South
		Fruits and vegetables do not compete efficiently with cover crops or weeds and do not benefit from the no-till systems employed with some agronomic crops.
		Spread of disease is further promoted by the increased thinness of plant tissue and occurrence of fruit cracks, that aid penetration of fungi.
		Fruit sweetness is often reduced with high rainfall as sugars are diluted by plant uptake of water.

		However, it is widely accepted that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables helps to protect against various diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disease and age related blindness.
		However, the epidemiological evidence is that the consumption of a range of fruits and vegetables is more beneficial than any single component and this is the key.
		If you are genuinely not fond of fruits and vegetables then still try to eat them as often as you can.

		Pierce's disease is a threat to grapes in California and in southern states from Florida to Texas.
		Disease symptoms vary with species and cultivar but are typified by marginal browning of leaves and death of vines.
		Pierce's disease could be carried from infected vegetation to grapes or from diseased grapes to healthy grapes by insect vectors; however, we know little about which vectors are involved in Kentucky.

		If you eat lots of fruit and vegetables you will reduce your risk of developing heart disease, but you will not alter your cancer risk, say Harvard researchers.

		The disease is somewhat elusive in that the bacteria can multiply on the surface of watermelon leaves without causing major symptoms.
		Therefore, the risk of disease is very low and around the Southeast there is a consensus that the need for routine copper sprays throughout the growing season is generally not warranted.
		The primary disadvantage is the risk of disease buildup, especially anthracnose, and subsequent poor crop performance.

	Wikinfo \| Monoculture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Extensive monoculture of fruits, cucurbits, alfalfa seed and other crops tends to produce pollination problems, because pollinators cannot use all the resources available during bloom, and they may starve during the rest of the season.
		Monocultures are derided by the environmental movement both because of their susceptibility to disease and insects, and because of the large amount of chemical inputs often required to sustain them.
		The movement seeks to change popular culture by redefining the "perfect lawn" to be something other than a turf monoculture, and seeks agricultural policy that provides greater encouragement for more diverse cropping systems.
