"Developing Management Strategies for Branched Broomrape in California Processing Tomatoes" - Presentation/Exit Seminar

When: Monday, September 9th, 4pm - 5pm

Location: In-person (140 Robbins, UC Davis) and virtual (Zoom link: https://ucdavis.zoom.us/j/91770022465) Meeting ID: 917 7002 2465

Speaker: Matt Fatino. Matt’s dissertation and M.S. thesis research is focused on herbicidal and cultural practices for control of the parasitic weed branched broomrape in processing tomato. Matt evaluated several chemigation and foliar herbicide approaches to managing this challenging weed, screened tomato cultivars, and has been a major contributor to outreach and extension to the tomato industry. This presentation will summarize Matt’s work at UCD.

The Swett Lab, at UC Davis, is the Diagnostics Services Lab for the industry in CA. Field level recommendations around soil borne pathogens provided by the research CTRI funds are built off of the foundation of knowledge which starts in this lab. This service would not be possible without the generous support of the grower members of the CTRI. If you have a particularly challenging diagnostics issue contact your local Farm Advisor for a field visit and to get a sample into this lab. 

We build durable coalitions around the questions whose answers drive the long term success of the California processing tomato industry. Founded in 1968, the CTRI is a non-profit organization of processing tomato growers.
