Combating Diseases in Lettuce Crops: Genetic Resistance, Organic Solutions, and Sustainable Farming Practices
The resurgence of Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (INSV) in California’s Salinas Valley has created new challenges for lettuce growers, damaging crops and reducing yields. Combating this threat requires a combination of genetic resistance, effective pest management, and improved soil health. By using organic fertilizers and sustainable farming practices, growers can strengthen plant immunity, support healthier soils, and produce more resilient lettuce crops while promoting environmentally responsible agriculture.
