The experiments were carried out in 2018, under high plastic tunnels conditions, in the first cycle (melons) and in the second cycle of crop (cucumbers). Pathogens and pests reported are common to melon and cucumber crops: Sphaerotheca fuliginea (powdery mildew), Pseudoperonospora cubensis (downy mildew), Alternaria cucumerina (alternaria leaf blight), Thrips tabaci (common thrips), Tetranychus urticae (two spotted spider mite) and Liriomyza trifolii (leaf miner). In the experiments of simultaneous control of pathogens in melons and cucumbers, the highest average efficacy was recorded for variant 2 (Melody Compact 49 WG 0.2% + Ortiva Top 0.1%; 88.7% on melons and 94.1% for cucumbers). With this variant, the highest yield was also obtained for melons (5.180 kg/sq.m.) and for cucumbers variant 4 (Aliette 80 WG 0.2% + Ortiva Top 0.1%; 3.698 kg/sq.m.). Referring to the complex control of pathogens and pests, for both melons and cucumbers, variant 5 (Ortiva Top 0.1% + Vertimec 1.8 EC 0.1%) stood out with an average efficacy of 88.9% and 91.1% respectively. This variant also recorded the highest yields: 8.920 kg/sq.m. for melons and 3.862 kg/sq.m. for cucumbers.Downloads
