Objective:
To develop new stonefruit rootstocks and management practices to control soilborne diseases and nematodes.
Approach:
Soilborne diseases and nematodes will be investigated by (1) evaluating stonefruit germplasm on sites infested with diseases and nematodes of interest; (2) intercrossing and developing selections for further breeding, commercial testing and subsequent release; and (3) testing and evaluating new and novel combinations of chemical and cultural strategies in conjunction with genetic solutions.
