“Verticillium dahliae is a well-documented soilborne vascular pathogen on Solanum melongena; black mulch + ammonium-N reducing damage is a documented IPM practice consistent with soil pH suppression of the pathogen.”
- plant-pathologist · plausible
“Verticillium dahliae is a well-documented soilborne fungal pathogen of Solanum melongena causing vascular wilt; black mulch and ammonium-N suppression of soil pH aligning with reduced Verticillium activity is biologically supported.”
