Start Date: Jun-15-2006 End Date: Jun-14-2008 |

Pests Involved: white mold, fungus, fungi |
|
Site/Commodity: snap beans, dry beans |
|
Summary:
White and gray molds are the primary fungal diseases on snap and dry beans in NY and PA that trigger the use of fungicides. Both fungi are aggressive and have a very wide host range that makes rotation from non-hosts difficult. Producers are in need of a decision tool that provides guidance on the strategic and prudent use of materials for pod mold control. The proposed research does not develop a forecasting tool, but develops user-friendly decision trees for action based on weather conditions and pathogen behavior. The decision tool will effectively remove the guesswork from disease management practices.
Objectives: 1. To optimize white and gray mold management strategies in snap and dry beans grown in New York and Pennsylvania; 2. To develop a decision tool for growers that will provide guidance on the strategic and prudent use of registered fungicides and biopesticides for control of pod molds on snap and dry beans, while achieving acceptable and economic disease control.
