Objectives:
Puncturevine and Hairy Nightshade Management
The objectives of this project were to evaluate the efficacy of common row crop herbicides for control of puncturevine, and determine the effect of post harvest weed management strategies on hairy nightshade seed development.
Evaluation of Fungicides for the Control of Gray and White Mold in Snap Beans
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.
Management of Sweet Corn Root and Crown Rot in the Pacific Northwest
Objective 1: Evaluation commercial sweet corn varieties in small plots for susceptibility to seed rot/damping-off as well as crown rot.
Weed Control in Table Beets and Carrots (2008)

Objective:
- Evaluate the potential of controlling hairy nightshade with tankmixes of ethofumesate and s-metolachlor and determined table beet tolerance to s-metolachlor in a commercial production system.
