This study aimed to evaluate the effect of system-acquired resistance inducing compounds applied during pre-harvest ‘Navelina’ orange and ‘Ortanique’ tangor in controlling post-harvest disease caused by Penicillium digitatum. The products were acibenzolar-s-methyl (ASM), imidacloprid (IMI), methyl jasmonate (MeJa), sodium selenite, potassium silicate, thiamethoxam (TMT). Sterile distilled water...

A field study was conducted at the National Ornamental Research Site Dominican University California (NORS-DUC). The goal to evaluate three chemical inducers applied as foliar treatments for controlling Phytophthora ramorum, on Rhododendron x ‘Cunningham’s White’ nursery plants. were chlorine dioxide (ElectroBiocide), hydrogen peroxide (OxiDate 2.0), and acibenzolar-s methyl (Actigard).

Center rot of onion, caused by Pantoea ananatis, is an economically important disease in onion production Georgia and elsewhere the United States. Growers rely on frequent foliar applications bactericides and, some cases, plant defense inducers to manage this disease.
