Summary: The objectives for this project were: 1. Develop preharvest fungicides and postharvest fungicides integrated programs for decay control. 2. Develop preharvest fungicides and postharvest biocontrol integrated programs for decay control. 3. Develop pre- and post-storage integrated programs for decay control. 4. Determine patterns of sensitivity or resistance of fludioxonil- and pyrimethanil-resistant Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea to various pre- and postharvest fungicides and use the information for guiding fungicide use 5. Establish an industry-coordinated program to monitor the shift in sensitivity of P. expansum to fludioxonil and pyrimethanil. 6. Collaborate with Bruce Campbell in evaluating natural compounds for management of fungicide resistance and decay control.
