Extension in the Fuchs lab focuses on the identification of virus diseases of vegetable and fruit crops, in particular emerging diseases. Information on the biology and ecology of viral diseases is disseminated to extension educators, growers, regulators, horticulture inspectors, and agriculture service providers. Efforts are also directed to a grape certification program, a plum pox virus eradication program, and service activities for assisting the timely implementation of virus disease management strategies.
