The Plant Pathology program at MHCR&EC focuses on

• Vegetables (primarily tomatoes and peppers)
• Ornamentals
• Burley tobacco
• Christmas trees

An integral part of producing a profitable crop involves proper disease monitoring and identification, followed by the implementation of management programs that focus on long-term prevention or suppression of pathogens. Projects at MHCR&EC involve applied and molecular disease diagnostics and epidemiology, evaluation of fungicides and cultural control methodologies, and integration of fungicides and host resistance into management practices. Many of the pathosystems investigated involve Phytophthora species.
