Key Points

This research investigates how direct-cover cultivation and copper fungicide affect the incidence of tea blister blight.
Conducted experiments in tea fields in Shizuoka, Japan, including conventional and organic farming sites.
Investigated the effects of direct-cover treatment and copper fungicide applications on blight incidence.
Assessments were conducted over two years (2022 and 2023) to evaluate variations in outcomes based on weather conditions.
In 2022, direct-cover cultivation increased the number of blight-affected leaves, while in 2023, no significant difference was observed between treatments.
Copper fungicide application before or during budding consistently reduced blight-affected leaves but showed variability influenced by weather conditions.

Examines disease incidence in tea crops, suggesting varying impacts from interventions due to weather conditions.
