BCWGC R&D Series – Third Thursdays!

Developing and validating disease detection tools to improve the management of powdery mildew and botrytis rot in vineyards.

Dr. Mamadou Lamine, Dr. Odile Carisse, and Dr. Kosal Khun; AAFC Quebec

The presentation will focus on Activity 16, Objective 4 of the Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Program Projects being conducted at AAFC labs in Quebec. The project involves collating weather, crop, disease and injuries yield data from field experiments; designing the forecasting model based on pathogens life cycle; evaluating the reliability of the model structure; and, evaluating the forecasting models under vineyard conditions based on disease control, yield losses, and the number of fungicide applications.
