Organic Disease Management

Research Topics, Results and Reports

Replicated experiments conducted under field conditions at the Cornell University research facility on Long Island on organic vegetable disease management have mostly been evaluations of fungicides approved for or in development for organic production. Disease resistant varieties have also been evaluated. Usually experiments were conducted with conventional crop production practices.

Evaluations of Resistant Varieties

• Powdery mildew resistant cucurbit crops
• Downy mildew resistant cucurbit crops
• Downy mildew resistant basil
• Late blight resistant tomato

Evaluations of Biopesticides and other Organic Fungicides

• Powdery mildew in cucurbit crops
• Downy mildew in cucurbit crops
• Phytophthora blight
• Foliar diseases of tomato
• Downy mildew in basil
