I want to share notices about a few upcoming events and new resources.
I’m part of a project to collect samples of the anthracnose fruit rot (“black spot,” Colletotrichum sp.) and grey mold (Botrytis sp.) pathogens from strawberry fields in the southeastern US, to screen them for fungicide resistance. We’ve collected enough grey mold samples from Louisiana but still need several more anthracnose fruit rot samples. If you have this disease in your field and don’t mind me collecting samples, please let me know.
This event will be held at the LSU AgCenter office in St. Tammany Parish, from 2 – 4 PM. Topics will include water quality management, pond health, and aquatic plant management, and there will be a question-and-answer session. Space is limited and registration is required. Call 985-875-2635 to register.
