Awarded by the Office of Monitoring, Modeling and Quality Assurance, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency for contributions and support to the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program. Certificate of Appreciation. Fungicides, nematicides and bactericides are important tools in the management of vegetable diseases. The objective of this project is the development of the most effective and environmentally compatible use of these compounds in an integrated pest management strategy for vegetable diseases. Biological Management of Vegetable Diseases Lesion nematode management with Marigold rotations examines the ability of marigolds to reduce lesion nematode numbers, and therefore, increase yields when double-cropped with tomato or potato.
Marigolds represent an alternative management tool for nematode diseases in vegetable crops.
