“…Considering the existing limitations for the chemical and genetic control of the disease (Donald & Porter, 2009;Gossen et al, 2015), management practices are the most important strategy for reducing the losses caused by the disease. Among these, soil acidity correction is the most important, followed by basic strategies for successful crop and disease management (Dixon, 2009b;Donald & Porter, 2009;Gossen et al, 2014;Bhering et al, 2017;Santos, Amaral Sobrinho, Costa, Diniz, & Carmo, 2017). Cauliflower is a demanding crop in terms of phytotechnical, phytosanitary, and soil fertility management [pH (H₂O) = 6.0 to 6.8, V = 80%, and Ca + magnesium (Mg) content ≥ 3.0 cmol c dm -3 ] (May et al, 2007;Guerra, Leal, & Ferreira, 2013) as well as the required environmental conditions, especially temperature and humidity.…”
