Title: Phytophthora Management Considerations and Safer Application of Fungicides in the Nursery Description: Rutgers University Cooperative Extension agents Timothy Waller and Bill Errickson, and student intern Devan Gladden have been cooperating with commercial nurseries throughout the state during the summer of 2021 to assess the impact of Phytophthora to this industry. Through this USDA-Specialty Crop Block Grant (SCBG) funded project we aim to identify the Phytophthora species limiting conifer and other high value production in New Jersey, and how best to manage this disease moving forward. Presentation will focus on identifying the disease, cultural practices to avoid further contamination, and the safe selection and application of fungicides for this and other diseases. Best management practices for pesticide safety and selection will be discussed throughout the presentation to ensure that the disease is handled most effectively, with the lowest pesticide input, and in the safest manner possible.
