REDUCING POSTHARVEST DECAY OF TABLE GRAPES

Objective

Our objectives are to: 1) quantify the fungicide-resistance of Botrytis cinerea in San Joaquin Valley table grape vineyards; 2) evaluate the effectiveness of mixtures of fungicides registered in California with potassium sorbate or potassium phosphite to control resistant isolates of B. cinerea and postharvest decay; and 3) evaluate their impact on grape quality.
