Objectives for 2009: 1. Evaluate ascospore detection of S. sclerotiorum using multiple Rotorod spore traps. 2. Monitor environmental conditions within bean fields to begin model development of ascospore detection events.

Objectives: to determine the impact of 1.fall Contans applications on Coniothyrium minitans (Cm) infection and survival of sclerotia left on the soil surface through the winter and summer 2.the impact of summer irrigat ...

Cancellation of the registration of an effective bean mold fungicide, Ronilan, is slated to occur at the end of growing season in 2005. Finding equivalent alternatives by 2006 for use in snap bean is critical. The goal o ...

This project is investigating whether low rate (goal: one pound per acre) early fall Contans applications to flailed diseased residues left on the soil surface can increase Cm inoculum and reduce Ss sclerotial viability.
