Evaluation of v-10161 for control of phytophthora fruit rot on tomato

Introduction Phytophthora blight, caused by Phytophthora capsici, is a serious disease and a major constraint in the production of vegetables in Georgia and other areas throughout the world. The disease has three phases: root rot, crown rot, and fruit rot. The root rot and crown rot phases can kill a plant by attacking the root system and the above ground portion of the plant, and fruit rot can occur from the time of fruit set until harvest or after harvest and in storage. All the three phases result in significant yield losses. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of V-10161 in control of Phytophthora fruit rot on tomato.
