Management of Up and Coming Strawberry Diseases in the Northeastern United States

Event date/time
Wed, Feb 4, 2026 : 12 - 1pm
Event Type
Online
Price

Description: Increases in plant movement across state lines and warming climates have led to the introduction of new invasive plant diseases to our region, with Anthracnose, Neopestalotiopsis, and Black Root Rot being particularly devastating examples. This talk will discuss the current IPM strategies which can be used to limit the spread of these diseases and novel research into varietal resistance and chemical control of the pathogens.
