Summary: The objectives for this project were: 1) Conduct a multiyear statewide decay survey program. 2) Evaluate risks related to fungicide resistance. 3) Evaluate the impact of storage conditions on resistance development in the blue and gray mold pathogens in relation to fungicide type. 4) Evaluate sensitivity/resistance to pre-harvest fungicides i.e. newly registered ones and non-target sprays in major pome fruit pathogens. 5) Evaluate pathogenicity and fungicide sensitivity of Lambertella and Phacidium rots, newly reported in pome fruit in WA.
