Author: Ken Eastwell, William Howell, Eileen Perry
Published: 2006
Summary: Objectives of this three year project were: 1. Develop progressive strategies to control virus diseases that contribute to the decline of sweet cherry productivity in the Pacific Northwest. 2. Develop laboratory tests that will make virus testing more accessible to growers. 3. Monitor commercial sweet cherry orchards for emerging virus diseases. 4. Evaluate the use of remote sensing to identify areas of declining cherry production that may be associated with virus infections.
