Put soft rot on the spot
HEADNOTE
rot thrives when temperatures climb during the growing season. In California carrot and potato fields, growers have reported increased incidence of soft rot in recent years. This bacterial disease breaks down the tissue of these root crops, making them unmarketable.
Proper irrigation management can protect carrots and potatoes from infection.
EVEN a little extra water can be too much when you're trying to prevent disease - especially when it starts to warm up. Soft
Soft rot occurs sporadically, but when it infects a large field, the economic losses can be high, says Joe Nunez, Kern County farm adviser. Nunez, Jim Farrar, assistant professor at California State University, Fresno, and Mike Davis, plant pathologist at the University of Cal. ifornia (UC)-Davis, are studying the bacteria in greenhouse and field tests. They're also developing guidelines, including irrigation management, to help prevent outbreaks in carrots and potatoes
