Club Root Resistance Disclaimer The Syngenta resistance against Club Root is effective against the predominant races Pb:0 and Pb:1 and against the less frequent race Pb:3 but not against the infrequent race Pb:2 that may occur in some fields. Genetic resistance is only one of the tools to manage Club Root. Culture measures such as liming, use of fertilizers with high percentage of calcium, proper drainage, good crop hygiene management are several of important components of an integrated approach to manage the disease. We always recommend to first execute small variety trials before starting commercial production of a new variety. BRASSICA 4

20 DISEASE RESISTANCE Resistant is the ability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and development of a specified pest or pathogen and/or the damage they cause when compared to susceptible plant varieties under similar environmental conditions and pest or pathogen pressure. Resistant varieties may exhibit some disease symptoms or damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure. Basil Fob Two levels of resistance are defined:- High standard resistance (HR): plant varieties that highly restrict the Capsicum growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen under TMV normal pest or pathogen pressure when compared to susceptible PVY varieties. These plant varieties may, however, exhibit some symptoms or Xvc damage under heavy pest or pathogen pressure. Moderate/Intermediate resistance (IR): plant varieties that restrict the Eggplant growth and development of the specified pest or pathogen, but may ToMV exhibit a greater range of symptoms or damage compared to high/ Lettuce standard resistant varieties. Bl Moderately/Intermediately resistant plant varieties will still show less severe symptoms or damage than susceptible plant varieties when grown under similar environmental conditions and / or pest or pathogen pressure. Mpa Susceptibility is the ability of a plant variety to restrict the growth and Nr development of a specified pest or pathogen. The Vegetable Section of TBSV ISF recommends, as it pertains to biotic stress, that its members use the Peas terms immunity, high/standard or moderate/intermediate resistance Ep and susceptibility and to avoid the term tolerance in communications with their customers. Spinach Pfs Tolerance is the ability of a plant variety to endure abiotic stress without serious consequences for growth, appearance and yield. Vegetable Tomato companies will continue to use tolerance for abiotic stress. Ff DISEASE ABBREVIATIONS = Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.
