Methods for quantifying rain-splash dispersal of Neonectria ditissima conidia in apple canopies
Frontiers in Horticulture, 2023 Many microorganisms can be dispersed by rain-splash, whereby spores become suspended in water and are spread via droplets. The resulting dispersal gradient is dependent on several factors including rainfall intensity, the nature of the plant canopy and ...
