Overview |
|
As leader of Cornell’s grape pathology program, my overall
mission is to develop and provide new information that will enable
grape growers and their advisers to implement improved disease
management programs. Inherent in this goal is to expand the science
upon which such decisions are based. Thus, research topics typically
address theoretical as well as practical questions. Specific projects
frequently are designed to discern aspects of disease and pathogen
biology that directly impact on management efforts, e.g., periods
of host susceptibility, factors affecting inoculum production,
environmental effects on disease development, etc. Other projects
have focused on factors concerning disease management tools, e.g.,
fungicide physical modes of action and the population biology of
fungicide resistance. Many projects are conducted in cooperation
with colleagues in additional plant pathology, viticulture, and
entomology programs.
