Summary: The objectives of this project were: :1) Determine the inoculum concentration threshold for infection of cherry fruit at different developmental stages. 2) Determine the effects of temperature and relative humidity on infection and spore production of P. clandestins on infected cherry fruit. 3) Conduct in-depty studies on the temporary susceptibility of several cultivars of cherry fruit to infection by P. clandestina in orchard studies. 4) Evaluate quinoxfen as a key management component of the fruit phase of powdery mildew, overall maintenance of fruit quality and prevention of postharvest diseases. 5) Investigate the susceptibility of cherry flowers to infection by P. clandestina and the potential relationship between blossom and fruit infection
