The application of technological developments to solving real world plant disease problems. Most research activities take place in producer fields with existing problems. Opportunities are sought to identify new plant disease problems before they reach significant levels, document the impact of plant disease, and focus basic research resources to provide needed technological developments.
Special emphasis is given to integrated pest management and sustainable agriculture.
