PPFS-VG-7: Fruit Diseases of Cucurbits

Emily Pfeufer | Jan. 26, 2021 (Major Revision)

Vegetables in the cucurbit family include cucumber, muskmelon (cantaloupe), summer squash, winter squash, and pumpkin. The following diseases primarily affect the fruit of these crops and can result in losses in commercial fields and home gardens.

PR-779: 2020 Fruit and Vegetable Research Report

Doug Archbold, Win Dunwell, Bob Perry, Emily Pfeufer, Rachel Rudolph, John Snyder, John Strang | Dec. 18, 2020 (New)

Fruit and vegetable production continues to show sustained growth in Kentucky. As the industry grows around a diverse collection of marketing tactics (wholesale, farmer markets, CSAs, and direct to restaurants) as well as various production systems, there continues to be a need for applied practical information to support the industry. Evaluation of varieties is a continuing necessity and allows us to provide the most up to date information in communications with vegetable growers. The vegetable variety trial results are the basis for updating the recommendations in our Vegetable Production Guide for Commercial Growers (ID-36).

PPFS-VG-25: Early Blight and Septoria Leaf Spot of Tomato - Disease Management for Commercial Grower

Erica Fealko, Emily Pfeufer | Dec. 15, 2020 (New)

Early blight and Septoria leaf spot are the most common fungal diseases of tomato in Kentucky. Often occurring together, these diseases can significantly reduce yields during seasons with humid, wet weather.

PPFS-VG-6: Bacterial Canker of Tomato

Emily Pfeufer | Nov. 14, 2020 (Major Revision)

Bacterial canker is a potentially serious disease of tomato that can occur in commercial plantings and home gardens. This infectious disease is capable of spreading rapidly, resulting in devastating losses. It is a particularly difficult disease to manage because not only is there no cure, but the pathogen can be hard to eradicate once it has been introduced into a greenhouse, garden, or field.

PPFS-AG-T-7: Target Spot and Frogeye Leaf Spot of Field-grown Tobacco

Emily Pfeufer | Mar. 31, 2020 (New)

Target spot and frogeye leaf spot are the major fungal leaf spot diseases of tobacco grown in Kentucky. Burley and dark tobacco are susceptible to these leaf spot diseases; however, dark tobacco tends to be affected to a lesser extent than burley. Yield losses to target spot can exceed 50% in some years; frogeye reduces yields up to 30%, but can affect quality so severely that cured leaf may be declined. Integrated approaches, including good greenhouse production practices, crop rotation, and timely fungicide applications, will optimize management of these diseases.

PPFS-AG-T-6: Black Shank of Tobacco

Emily Pfeufer | Mar. 9, 2020 (New)

Black shank is one of the most important diseases of burley and dark tobacco in Kentucky. It tends to cause the greatest losses in fields with a history of black shank, during seasons with a wet to moderate early season followed by a dry August. Management is dependent on the successful combination of crop rotation, resistant varieties, and soil-directed fungicide applications.

PPFS-VG-1: Black Rot of Crucifers

David Davis, Emily Pfeufer | Jul. 1, 2019 (Minor Revision)

Black rot, caused by the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc), can be a very destructive disease of cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli. Other susceptible crucifers include: collards, kale, Brussels sprouts, Chinese cabbage, kohlrabi, turnip, mustard, radish, and rutabaga.

PPFS-AG-T-5: Maintaining the Efficacy of Foliar Fungicides for Tobacco Disease Management

Bob Pearce, Emily Pfeufer | Jul. 1, 2019 (Minor Revision)

Management of resistance to fungicides is based on alternating the use of particular modes of action, or FRAC groups, which essentially presents multiple different challenges to the fungal population. Overall, fungi that are naturally resistant to a mode of action are very rare in the environment. Challenging a population with multiple different modes of action will reduce the chance of developing widespread resistance, which will prolong the efficacy of these chemicals.

PPFS-VG-24: Biological Products for Tomato Disease Management

Erica Fealko, Emily Pfeufer | Jun. 1, 2019 (New)

Disease management products with biologically-based active ingredients are often labeled for numerous diseases, but can vary markedly in their efficacy. This Extension publication summarizes factors to consider when choosing biological controls and data available pertaining to tomato disease management efficacy.
