This part of the “Salad diseases” application offers you numerous files on the main pathogens prevalent on lettuce, especially in France, but also in many countries around the world: fungi , bacteria , phytoplasmas , viruses, nematodes .

In each sheet, in addition to general information on these pathogens, their symptoms , their biology and the protection methods to be implemented to combat them are detailed.

Note that given the profound upheaval in legislation on pesticides observed in France in recent years, and the permanent evolution of pesticides available on vegetables, we invite you to consult the e-phy website of the Ministry of Agriculture and of fishing which takes stock of the pesticides currently used on salad.
