Meet the researcher: Getting ahead of the fungus
What happens in a vineyard long before powdery mildew becomes visible? Dr Minette Havenga is studying how fungal pathogens survive, spread and respond to fungicides. We talk research, resistance and why, if she weren’t a scientist, she might be investigating something entirely different.
