1.Rainfall,which plays an important role in the subsequent secondary infections of black shank,is the most important factor for epiphytotics.Heavy rainfall always washes down the sporangia from diseased plants and sinks them into the soil.Whereby the rain water will spread and run over the field surface together with the inoculum.
