Decay control and management of fungicide resistance
Author: Chang-Lin Xiao, Bruce Campbell
Published: 2007
Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Develop preharvest fungicide and postharvest fungicide integrated programs for decay control. 2. Develop preharvest fungicide and postharvest biocontrol agent integrated programs for decay control. 3. Develop pre- and post-storage integrated programs for decay control. 4. Develop pre- and postharvest fungicide programs for control of Sphaeropsis rot. 5. Evaluate various programs that not only control decay but also minimize or control the development of resistance in P. expansum to pyrimethanil and fludioxonil. 6. Evaluate thermofogging-based programs for decay control. 7. Collaborate with Bruce Campbell in evaluating natural compounds for decay control.
