Non-Chemical Management
- Space plantings, prune, and train to provide good air circulation and reduce humidity.
- Clean up all plant debris. Destroy or discard (do not compost) diseased materials.
- Avoid overhead watering.
- Provide proper culture. Excess fertilizer promotes dense, slow-drying foliage.
- Pick ripe fruit frequently and thoroughly to reduce losses. Avoid injuring fruit and cool promptly.
