Editor's Pick
Phytophthora species are an important
group of plant pathogens able to easily
spread in contaminated water, which makes
these organisms a constant threat and
concern in commercial plant
nurseries. Thorsten Ufer and associates
tested filtration systems for their ability
to eliminate Phytophthora species
from recycled water in commercial nurseries
over a four-year period. Read
about the success of these filtration
systems under commercial nursery conditions.
