Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed an innovative method for the early detection of Fusarium wilt in tomato plants by monitoring subtle changes in the plants’ water use. The study demonstrates that measuring water-relation traits such as transpiration rates can identify the disease well before visual symptoms appear.
