Botrytis fungicide resistance is a serious problem in petunias that results in millions of dollars in crop losses each year. A simple calcium solution may be the key to managing this problem more effectively.
Clemson University’s research team is exploring Botrytis in cut roses to find out how to help you maintain postharvest crop quality by avoiding fungicide resistance.
Registration for Biocontrols USA West, which takes place March 7-9 in San Diego, is now open. The event features in-depth educational sessions, expert advice on new products, and tours that showcase how growers are using biocontrols in their own operations.
CropKing in Lodi, OH, recently began using a new beneficial fungus in its fight against Botrytis in its greenhouse tomatoes. So far, the results have been promising.
