Eradication of Botryotinia squamosa from the main onion-producing zone of Argentina in the Lower Rio Colorado Valley
EPPO Bulletin 36 (1), 21-23
Abstract: In 1998, onion transplants raised in La Plata and destined for planting in the main onion-growing zone of Argentina, the Lower Rio Colorado Valley, were intercepted and found to be infected with the leaf blight fungus Botryotinia squamosa. With the owners' consent, all the transplanted and not yet transplanted diseased material was destroyed in order to protect the isolated growing zones of southern Argentina from this new disease agent. To date, B. squamosa has been found neither in the Lower Rio Colorado Valley nor in any other onion-growing zone of southern Argentina.
