Introduction
 Your squash crop faces many obstacles:
weather, pests, disease. Among the diseases affecting squash, powdery
mildew and viruses can be very destructive and difficult to control.
For years, chemical control of vectors was
the primary means of limiting loss to viral diseases like ZYMV.
Chemicals still play a major role today in disease control, though they
are very costly.
To protect profits, growers turn to squash
varieties with disease tolerance built-in, not added on.
Disease tolerance means less reliance on
expensive chemicals. It also means disease control from the start for
a healthier, more profitable crop. |
