Research Project:
PACIFIC AREA-WIDE PEST MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR INTEGRATED METHYL BROMIDE ALTERNATIVES-WALNUTS AND DETECTION OF PHYTOPATHOGENIC AGENTS
Location: Crops Pathology and Genetics Research
Project Number: 0500-00044-021-05
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 28, 2007
End Date: May 31, 2009
Objective:
1) Improve Pre-Plant Fumigation Strategies for Walnut Orchards (demonstrate the effectiveness of two MB independent alternatives.)
2) Predictive/diagnostic microbial detection technologies in evaluating MB alternatives.
Approach:
1) Using six replications per treatment and plot sizes approximately 75'x160', the five treatments will be demonstrated and evaluated for effectiveness of managing soil-borne diseases in walnut.
2) Develop and use DNA arrays to detect pathogens as a function of soil fumigation treatments. Documents SCA with UC-Davis, Dept.Plant Sciences.
