| evaluation of leaf wetness duration models for operational use in strawberry disease-warning systems in four us states. | leaf wetness duration (lwd) plays a key role in disease development and is often used as an input in disease-warning systems. lwd is often estimated using mathematical models, since measurement by sensors is rarely available and/or reliable. a strawberry disease-warning system called "strawberry advisory system" (sas) is used by growers in florida, usa, in deciding when to spray their strawberry fields to control anthracnose and botrytis fruit rot. currently, sas is implemented at six locations, ... | 2016 | 27180263 |
| characterization of iprodione resistance in botrytis cinerea from strawberry and blackberry. | gray mold, caused by the fungal pathogen botrytis cinerea, is one of the most destructive diseases of strawberry. control of the disease in commercial fields is largely dependent on the application of fungicides, including the dicarboximide iprodione. single-spore isolates were collected from strawberry fields in florida, north carolina, and south carolina and subjected to an assay using conidial germination that distinguished sensitive (s) isolates from isolates with various levels of resistanc ... | 2014 | 24156554 |
