Grower Input Needed to Help Understand the Role of Anthracnose Diseases

All growers of tree fruit and small fruit, please take a few minutes to fill out this fruit rot survey!

This multi-state survey aims to help us understand the role of anthracnose (fruit rot) diseases and to prioritize grower concerns and challenges.  This short survey, linked below, is a part of a multi-state research collaboration that aims to help us understand the impact and role of anthracnose (fruit rot) diseases caused by the fungal pathogens in the Colletotrichum genus and to prioritize grower concerns and challenges.

The link https://go.rutgers.edu/liiy8uep takes you to the article from Penn State that has the survey link at the end of that article. All responses are anonymous. No personal information will be collected.

 

 

 

Fruit IPM for 6/21/17
