Non-parasitic diseases

Vegetables, in addition to being parasitized by many bioaggressors, are affected by various problems qualified as non-parasitic or abiotic diseases or disorders. Their causes must be sought in particular at the level of the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of the plants, the factors which influence their "environment", and the anthropic interventions implemented: climatic conditions, nature of the soil, management of the culture and interventions of the producer on that here or nearby, sources of pollution, etc.
