Project Number: 5442-21220-010-06
Project Type: Specific C/A

Start Date: Jun 01, 2002
End Date: May 31, 2006

Objective:
Investigate the roles of cultural practices (irrigation interval, tillage at planting), timely application of chemicals, and partial plant resistance in reducing damage from Sclerotinina sclerotiorum to Phaseolus vulgaris.

Approach:
A replicated field trial in a white mold-infested nursery will be used to investigate the roles of irrigation interval, tillage, plant resistance, and timely application of fungicides within an IPM context. Laboratory and greenhouse experiments will systematically evaluate the potential usefulness of conventional and experimental fungicides and biopesticides when applied to foliage and blossoms of a susceptible cultivar.
