research overview
- in onions: optimizing control of onion diseases including leaf diseases, Botrytis leaf blight, Alternaria purple blotch and Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV), and storage diseases, bacterial and Botrytis neck rots. Optimizing plant spacing for optimal yield and quality in large and small scale onion production systems, and developing a system to produce onions using minimum tillage, investigating fertility and pesticide interactions, and optimizing muck fertility. In cabbage: managing slugs. In Broccoli: variety evaluation and other aspects related to the Eastern Broccoli project.
