The control of leaf spot mostly relies on the application of protective fungicides (MAAS 1998). In organic agriculture the use of copper products is effective (VUKOVITS 1980) but this has a negative influence on soil fertility.(BERGMANN 1993).Therefore its use in strawberry crops should also be reduced. } }
