  zoospores at 44°C for as little as 5 min was effective in inhibiting germination and colony formation; however, oospore germination was not inhibited by any of the tested temperatures in vitro. In the field, thermotherapy treatment of inoculated plants was shown to have great potential to serve as a nonchemical approach for managing Phytophthora crown rot in production fields and reducing mefenoxam-resistant populations in nursery transplants.
