EARLY DETECTION, EPIDEMIOLOGY, AND CONTROL OF SPINACH DOWNY MILDEW

Objective

The objectives of the proposed work are to examine P. effusa oospore production and seed transmission, determine airborne inoculum load present at two different periods of the season in the Coachella Valley, California, test Peronospora effusa-specific DNA primers and develop an assay for early detection of spinach downy mildew in leaves, and complete biopesticide testing and analyze a nitrogen dioxide seed fumigation treatment for organic and conventional spinach.
