• High virus content found in fruits!

• High virus content found in root remains (drain water)?

• Knife disinfection: useful with bumblebees in the greenhouse?

• Concentrations & contact time (studies)

• Realize compartments in the greenhouse; doors really closed?

• Mechanics and other visitors?

• Manual instead of Mypex to remove crop?

• Crop rotation: contractors?
