Botrytis fungicide efficacy study underway
These strawberries are part of our Botrytis fungicide efficacy study. For the postharvest evaluation, fruit is stored at room temperature and evaluated at 2-day intervals over a 10-day period. Fruit with visible fungal growth are recorded as decayed and discarded from the tray to avoid fruit-to-fruit spread of disease. With all the rain this year, it's turning out to be a great study. Results will be presented at our upcoming Field Day on August 8, 2024. Stay tuned for more!
