Abstract
The effectiveness of alternative strategies for TYLCD management was investigated in two preliminary experiments carried out on tomato commercial crops.
In 2005 the effects of four acibenzolar-S-methyl post transplant applications were evaluated.
In the second month after planting the trial evidenced a 21-28% reduction of TYLCD incidence in the treated plots with respect to the control plots.
In 2006 the use of a non-woven fabric to cover plant rows for a period of 2-3 weeks from planting date was tested.
Covered plots showed a significantly lower incidence of the disease than uncovered ones.
