Research Objective
To screen additional biocontrol or natural products against root rot caused by one or more Fusarium species. Higher doses or alternative formulations will be evaluated.
Objective 4To assess the impact of “wild” soil inoculum on root rot severity and growth performance in pea.
To test the response of pea lines carrying QTLs for partial resistance to Aphanomyces euteiches to various biocontrol and natural products.
Objective 5To evaluate the effect of gypsum and MustGrow products on root rot severity across four pea varieties varying in resistance to root rots.
To screen additional biocontrol or natural products against root rot caused by one or more Fusarium species and evaluate responses of most promising product when used with pea lines with partial resistance to A. euteiches. Explore the impacts of “wild” soils and inoculum on root rot in pea.
