Abstract
Anthracnose ( Mycocentrospora acerina) and white mould ( Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) are major diseases of caraway ( Carum carvi) in the Netherlands. Contaminated soil and infested caraway seeds are the principal inoculum sources of Mycocentrospora acerina in caraway. Disease incidence and severity of anthracnose can be reduced by crop management. The effect of reducing the nitrogen level and sowing rate on anthracnose development in spring caraway is demonstrated. Other crop management methods are discussed. It is demonstrated that biological control of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by Coniothyrium minitans gives a reduction in disease that is relevant for practical application.
