Objectives:
Cancellation of the registration of an effective bean mold fungicide, Ronilan, is slated to occur at the end of growing season in 2005. Finding equivalent alternatives by 2006 for use in snap bean is critical. The goal of the project is to continue evaluations of alternative fungicides for their effectiveness in controlling Gray Mold (Botrytis cinerea) and White Mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) on snap bean using Ronilan as the industry standard.
Objective 1: Evaluation commercial sweet corn varieties in small plots for susceptibility to seed rot/damping-off as well as crown rot.
Objective: Identify sweet corn hybrids with suitable processing quality that have high, stable yields and tolerance to root rot disease complex.
