Greatly appreciate any information or experiences with Phytophthora Root
Rot fungus. I haven't been able produce any AG in my garden for the past 3
years due to this disease. Also, have had major problems producing decent
broccoli, cauliflower, and a number of other crops due to a type of rot for
about 6 years. I suspect this is related to the same fungal disease I have
in my pumpkins.
I sent a sample of the main root, vine, and leaves from an AG to the U of I
plant clinic, and they determined that Phythphthora Fungus was present.
Evidently fungicides have no effect on this disease, and I'll probably have
to plant in a new location, at least for a number of years.
Have plenty of good seeds, but they don't do me any good if I can't set any
fruit and my vines die a slow painful death. Help!!
