Accomplishments
Progress was made towards field testing and evaluation of efficacy of Dactylaria higginsii, Phomopsis amaranthicola, pathogens of weedy grasses and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis. Advances were also made in mass production and formulation of bioherbicides. A strain selection method based on nutritional conditioning of fungi was developed.
Impacts
- Bioherbicides to manage purple nutsedge, pigweeds, weedy grasses and weeds in the Asteracae family are under development.
