Turfgrass species traditionally used in residential and commercial lawns in Minnesota, such as kentucky bluegrass ( P. pratensis ) and perennial ryegrass ( L. perenne ), can require significant management inputs to maintain acceptable cover and

of C. beticola isolates that are resistant to fungicides threatens the durability of disease management strategies. For example, 40% of the C. beticola population in New York was reported as resistant to the quinone outside inhibitor fungicide

investigate viable solutions for organic weed, insect, and disease management; and to compile, compare, and incorporate proven horticultural practices into a sustainable production system for highbush blueberry. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2000 to 2006

The oomycetous pathogen, Phytophthora capsici Leonian, is capable of causing several disease syndromes in cucurbits, including crown rot, foliar blight, and fruit rot ( Roberts et al., 2001 ; Zitter et al., 1996 ). Crown rot appears at the soil

season-long weed control. However, sequential cultivations at regular intervals may provide the foundation for a successful integrated system of weed control in transplanted onion. To date, there has been no research on weed management in organic Vidalia

relative absence of pests and diseases in the commercial production zone (semiarid, irrigated, winter precipitation). Production began to expand rapidly in the mid 1990s with the introduction of pheromone mating disruption for control of codling moth

Organic farmers need a diverse toolbox of weed management tactics. Tillage is currently the most common method of weed management in organic systems ( Baker and Mohler, 2015 ), but wet soil conditions, crop growth stage, and overuse can limit its

fumigation with traditional fumigants, such as chloropicrin and the now banned methyl bromide, have proven ineffective in the management of this pathogen ( Chellemi et al., 1997 ; Driver and Louws, 2002 ; Enfinger et al., 1979 ). Grafting of susceptible
