Foliage Nutrient Management:
- Conduct soil tests to determine nutrient requirements.
- Apply fertilizers based on soil test recommendations.
- Consider split-applications for nitrogen to match crop demand.
- Time nutrient applications to coincide with critical growth stages.
- Monitor plant tissue nutrient levels through leaf sampling.
Managing White Mold:
- Rotate crops to reduce mold inoculum.
- Optimize plant spacing canopy management for airflow.
- Monitor weather conditions during flowering for high humidity.
- Select cultivars with increased white mold tolerance or resistance.
- Apply fungicides at flowering or susceptible stages with thorough coverage.
