Research Project:
Assessing Alfalfa As An Inoculum Source of Xylella Fastidiosa
Location: Crop Diseases, Pests and Genetics
Project Number: 5302-22000-008-13
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 25, 2007
End Date: Jul 14, 2009
Objective:
1. Assess the incidence and diversity of Xylella fastidiosa in alfalfa, almond, and grape.
2. Determine abundance and seasonal population dynamics of potential vectors.
Approach:
Conventional molecular methods will be used to assess the incidence of Xylella fastidiosa in alfalfa and surrounding crops of interest (i.e., grape and almond). Standard insect sampling techniques will be used to determine the abundance and seasonal population dynamics of potential vectors. Documents SCA iwth UC-Berkeley.
