Projectomschrijving
This project investigates Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae, a pathogen that causes wilting on lettuce crops. The research focuses on control measures, the introduction and spread of the pathogen, alternative crops, and molecular diagnostics. Additionally, the current diversity of Belgian isolates is studied through plant trials and molecular techniques.
