Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1) Conduct a survey of packing houses and orchards to assess the prevalence of bull's eye rot and perennial canker in Washington State.. 2) Prepare a collection of Neofabraea spp. isolates from different geographic regions in Washington state and assess fungicide sensitivity/resistance of the pathogen population. 3) Test and compare the efficacy of fungicide treatments and orchard management for the control of bull's eye rot in commercial orchards. 4) Develop methodology for control of bull's eye rot in storage and in orchards both post-harvest and pre-harvest.
