Summary
Researchers focused on protecting native plant species, particularly Ione Manzanita, are invited to apply for funding to explore phosphite treatments for disease control. This grant supports crucial fieldwork and evaluation of innovative solutions to combat pathogens.
Eligibility
Full Description
The objective of this project is the continuation of research at UCB concerning the effects of Phytophthora cinnamomi on Ione Manzanita and potential measures to halt the spread of the pathogen. Specifically this project will enable UCB researchers to test and evaluate phosphite treatments in the field to determine whether disease progression can be slowed in naturally-infected plant populations through use of phosphite.
