Project Number: 1915-62660-001-02
Project Type: Trust

Start Date: May 01, 2001
End Date: Apr 30, 2004

Objective:
Evaluate the potential of selected biological and cultural approaches, alone and in combination, for control of powdery scab disease.

Approach:
The research will consist of: 1) greenhouse/growth chamber studies evaluating the direct effects of different Brassica crops on the powdery scab pathogen and its disease-causing activities, as well as other soilborne pathogens; 2) greenhouse/growth chamber studies evaluating the potential of various biological control organisms and approaches for control of the powdery scab pathogen and disease; and 3) coordinated studies (with #1 and 2 above) evaluating the combination of specific biological and cultural approaches for enhanced control of powdery scab.
