Abstract
In an autumn crop of cucumber no significant differences in disease development of D. bryoniae were observed between three temperature regimes and time of transition from night to day conditions.
Plants grown under drier conditions were less affected than plants under more humid conditions.
Powdery mildew was more severe under drier conditions.
In a spring crop the disease incidence was higher on plants grown at lower night temperatures in the pre-inoculation period.
Once D. bryoniae had been established in the crop the development of the disease passed on parallel.
The incidence of D. bryoniae was lower and of Botrytis cinerea higher under drier than under more humid conditions.
Plants grown under drier conditions were less affected than plants under more humid conditions.
Powdery mildew was more severe under drier conditions.
