Strawberry Crop Walkers’ Guide
Strawberry growers can encounter a range of pest and disease problems that can impact on both the quality and yield of fruit unless they are identified and dealt with. Typical symptoms and identification features of important pests and diseases covered include:
- A range of aphid species
- Mites
- Botrytis
- Mildew, rots and wilts, and many others
This guide also features naturally occurring and introduced predators that can help with controlling pests in commercial crops.
Use this guide to walk and monitor your crop, and help you identify the problem if you encounter symptoms.
