Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Determine when fruit infection occurs in relation to maturity. 2. Examine the effect of temperature and relative humidity on fruit infection. 3. Develop an early detection method for PM on fruit. 4. Establish a baseline for powdery mildew (PM) resistance to demethylation inhibitors (DMI’s) fungicides. 5. Evaluate foliar mildew levels under various management regimes. 6. Study the relationship between powdery mildew infection and pitting.
