Notes for REVIEW


mh, 27.6.09 Kindly let me know which images to include (from the more images part) on the damage/symptoms site. (do we have more own images from icipe? i.e. damping-off, wirestem, bottom rot, head rot, root rot) so that I can include them on symptoms page for identification? Cultural methods: include detail info on hot water seed-treatment. Should additional measures provided for tomatos also be included in pestmodules for peppers, potato, eggplant? Have included measures in brassicas, okra pestmodules). Kindly compare pestmodules description and what to do for the hosts provided - i.e. the pestmodule for cucumber is empty, pls provide text.
