(Flower Incubation Technique, FIT) Before using the risk analysis approach to estimate the possible risks of blossom blight and latent infection for a specific orchard, the inoculum potential of the orchard should be determined.

This technique can be used to determine the latent infection of fruit caused by Monilinia fructicola. Immature fruit collected from orchards could be used to determine the incidence of latent infection. Surface sterilize the fruit in a chlorine solution (32 ml of 0.

Experiments studying brown rot blossom blight of prune Experiments were conducted in 1999 and 2000 at Kearney Agricultural Center. Branches were obtained from a prune (cv. French) orchard.

Experiments studying latent infection of prune by M. fructicola In 2000, we conducted experiments in three prune orchards in Yolo, Butte, and Tehama Counties.

Sharka, or plum pox, is probably the most dreaded disease of stone fruit trees. It plagues orchards in Europe, has been in Chile for several years, and sadly has now been confirmed in the United States. In October 1999, infected trees were found in several orchards in a small area in Pennsylvania.

Adult western malaria mosquito Controlling vector-borne diseases is a serious challenge facing the world today.

An overall theme to my research can be best described as Investigating the interactions between mosquito disease vectors and the changing environment. The natural world is changing at an alarming rate due mainly to anthropogenic activities, some of which are more obvious than others.

High level methoprene resistance in the mosquito Ochlerotatus nigromaculis (Ludlow) in Central California Abstract: In the summer of 1998, failures of methoprene field applications to control the mosquito Ochlerotatus nigromaculis (Ludlow) were noticed in several pastures in the outskirts of Fresno,...
