Review: Holistic pest management against early blight disease towards sustainable agriculture
Pest Management Science, Volume 77, Issue 9, Page 3871-3880, September 2021., 2021 Environmental, biological, genetic, chemical and management factors that interact in pathogen systems with Alternaria spp. Abstract Alternaria species are well‐known aggressive pathogens that are widespread globally and warmer temperatures caused by climate change might increase their abundance more drastically. Early blight (EB) disease, caused mainly
