Diseases in LettucePests & DiseasesLEAF MINERLETTUCE APHIDPOTATO APHIDGREEN PEACHAPHIDDLRDLRLIRIOMYZA SPEC.Attacks by leaf minersare common under glassbut more infrequentoutdoors. In addition toliking lettuce, leaf minersfeed on cucumbers,tomatoes, peppers andvarious ornamental plants.The larvae cause gentlywinding, serpentine-likemining patterns on theleaves. In cases of intenseinfestation leaf loss canoccur.NASONOVIA RIBISNIGRINasonovia prefers to suckon heart leaves. In additionto the physical leaf damagewhich it immediately causesthrough sucking, this pestalso causes honeydewcontamination andsubsequently sooty mould.Complete freedom fromthese aphids can only beachieved through the use ofa combination of Nasonoviaresistantlettuce varieties andinsecticides (seed treatmentsand foliar applications).AULACORTHUM SOLANIThe potato aphidgenerally overwinters ingreenhouses. In additionto liking lettuce, it likes tofeed on numerous arablecrops, such as varieties ofvegetable and ornamentalplants grown both outdoorsand under glass. Crimpingand deformities occur ifyoung leaves are attacked.Secondary damage as aresult of the transmissionof viruses is a commonproblem.MYZUS PERSICAEThese heterophagousaphids suck on the heartleaves of plants,as wellas leaf damage andstunted growth, theyproduce honeydew andsubsequently sooty mould.Furthermore, Myzuspersicae is also consideredto be a virus carrier. It istherefore imperative thattimely action is takenagainst this pest on itsfirst appearance.GREY MOULDDOWNY MILDEWBOTTOM ROTWHITE MOULDDLRBOTRYTIS CINEREAThe fungus infects plantsvia points of damageand through weakenedplant tissue. A grey fungalfilm rapidly forms on theaffected plant parts (leaves,stalks). The plant thenstarts to rot and dies off.Grey mould rot usually setsin shortly after planting orbefore harvest.DLR = Copyright by DLR Rheinland-PfalzBREMIA LACTUCAEBremia can infect lettuceat any time during itsperiod of culture and preferhigh levels of humidityor water when doing so.The fungus displays ahigh level of variability,constantly develops newpathotypes and thereforecould break down theresistance of the lettucevarieties.RHIZOCTONIA SOLANIThis rot occurs most oftenin lettuce growing undercool, damp conditions.The outer leaves of thehead which are lying on theground, rot and becomebrownish-black in colour.Heads of lettuce thathave been attacked canthen only be sold once asubstantial amount of timeand effort has been put intotrimming them.SCLEROTINIASCLEROTIORUMSclerotinia first infectslettuce plants via the outerleaves through mycelia.The rot then rapidly expandsto cover the whole plantand can lead to thecomplete loss of the plant.The fungus, in the formof sclerotia in the ground,outlives the plant for avery long time. Measuresfor combating this mouldshould be taken onbedding out or shortly afterplanting and may need tobe repeated.Syngenta Seeds LtdCPC4 Capital Park, Fulbourn, Cambridge CB21 5XETel: 0845 602 5239 • Fax: 01223 882238© Copyright 04, 2011 Syngenta Seeds B.V.® Registered trade mark of a Syngenta Group CompanyOctober 2011www.syngenta-crop.co.uk

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL. USE PESTICIDES SAFELY.Powdery and downy mildew cancycle through a generation inonly a few days and the multiplegenerations that may occur in onecrop increase the potential for thepathogens to overcome both geneticand fungicidal protection methods.For this reason, a robust strategyemploying both means of control isessential to preserve their long termeffectiveness. The first line of defenceis genetic, and varietal choice shouldinclude consideration of resistancegenes in relation to the strainspredominating within your locality.However, varietal resistance mustbe supported with a sound fungicidestrategy to minimise disease pressureon the genetics and equally maintaineffectiveness of the fungicides.AMISTAR nozzle 06 Vegetable nozzle 08 Vegetable nozzleSyngenta Seeds LtdCPC4 Capital Park, Fulbourn, Cambridge CB21 5XETel: 0845 602 5239 • Fax: 01223 882238© Copyright 04, 2011 Syngenta Seeds B.V.® Registered trade mark of a Syngenta Group CompanyOctober 2011www.syngenta-crop.co.uk

These diseases are very difficult to control once established in the crop andachieving only partial control increases the risk of resistance developing.» Apply further fungicides at tight intervals, according to weather conditions, to prevent any disease appearing in the crop.» Alternate fungicides with different modes of action. Ideally, also apply fungicides in mix with another fungicide with a differentmode of action that is active on the disease.Syngenta Seeds LtdCPC4 Capital Park, Fulbourn, Cambridge CB21 5XETel: 0845 602 5239 • Fax: 01223 882238© Copyright 04, 2011 Syngenta Seeds B.V.® Registered trade mark of a Syngenta Group CompanyOctober 2011www.syngenta-crop.co.uk
