Start Date: Jun 01, 2006
End Date: May 31, 2009

Objective:
To investigate the roles of cultural practices (plant spacing) and timely application of multi-action pesticides in reducing damage from diverse isolates of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum to Phaseolus vulgaris cultivars with varying degrees of resistance.

Approach:
A replicated field trial in a white mold infested nursery will be conducted to investigate roles and values of cultural practice modification within an Integrated Pest Management context. Fungicide trails will also be conducted.
