In two out of the three study years, the new system (without any fungicides targeting P. cactorum) performed equivalently to or even outperformed the traditional system (utilizing authorized pesticides). Data on P. cactorum presence in air samples and splash water collected at various heights validated the hypothesis: reduced splash dispersal is the key driver behind the elevated tray system’s effectiveness. This highlights the potential of reconfiguring cultivation systems to reduce reliance on pesticides.
