Verticillium Wilt Not just a European disease…..
An increasing problem in the UK!
Dr Gladders’ recommendations for managing the risk were
1. Determine its prevalence on individual farms
2. Good agronomy – a strong plant holds off verticillium
3. Extended rotations
4. Variety choice
Trinity has good resistance –
1. Galileo parent has very good resistance
2. Trinity performed excellently in the Gottingen trials.
