Project Type: Nonfunded Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Feb 01, 2006
End Date: Jan 01, 2011

Objective:
Evaluation of alternative fumigants for cut-flower production.

Approach:
Field trials will be conducted using alternative fumigants and multiple application methods for control of soilborne pests of field-grown cut flowers, including plant pathogenic fungi and nematodes. All fumigant/application method combinations will be evaluated against an untreated check. Assessments will include effectiveness of pathogen control and cut-flower growth parameters and yield.
