Dr. Mary Hausbeck, a member of the CucCAP Pathology team, will present:

Fungicides & Diseases: Managing Diseases for Higher Profitability and a Safer Environment

Explore management strategies that tackle a persistent, soil-borne mold called Phytophthora capsici that kills plants and rots fruit. Producers will have the opportunity to observe field studies in squash and peppers to see how new fungicides can be used to combat this mold. Different stages of infection will be demonstrated and participants will learn how to develop application programs to more effectively protect both the plant and fruit.
