Control of downy mildew ( Peronospora sparsa) in arctic bramble ( Rubus arcticus ssp. arcticus)
Abstract Downy mildew, inflicted by Peronospora sparsa , causes yield losses in arctic bramble ( Rubus arcticus ssp. arcticus ), boysenberry ( Rubus spp. hybrid) and blackberry ( Rubus fruticosus ), and is a serious threat to the cultivation. Arctic bramble is a high‐value crop but its commercial po...
