Abstract

In the 2000-2001 period the economic importance of lettuce downy mildew (Bremia lactucae Regel) on seven cultivars of summer lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), grown on or without black plastic mulch was studied. Though the differences between the cultivars in the infection with the fungus were obvious, it was concluded that there is no immediate connection between the degree of infection with the pathogen and the yield of the lettuce. There was also no immediate connection between the degree of infection with the fungus and the growing technique used.
