The Vegetable Pathology Lab at NC State conducts field trials each growing season to study plant pathogens, resistance of plant varieties to pathogens, and vegetable disease management strategies. When a field trial is harvested, the crop is weighed, graded, and evaluated for disease damage and marketability.
Plant Disease Management Reports (PDMR)
PDMR is an annual publication of The American Phytopathological Society. The objective of PDMR is to facilitate the rapid dissemination and storage of information on chemical, biological and cultural control of plant diseases. Data published in PDMR is from replicated plots or observations. Published reports are considered to be progress reports of ongoing research.
