First report on <em>Pythium myriotylum</em> as pathogen on duckweed (<em>Lemna minor</em> L.) in hydroponic systems in Germany

Duckweed is a promising resource for future feed and food production as well as wastewater treatment. However, diseases and pests can critically limit the performance of the production systems. Patches of discolored and bleached duckweed (Lemna minor L.) appeared in hydroponic systems and spread ra...
