My study will be evaluating seasonal cover crop species and their ability to suppress the soilborne hemi-biotroph, Phytophthora nicotianae on citrus orchards. It aims to establish a summer and winter cover crop mixture on citrus orchards for the integrated management of Phytophthora root rot complex.
I have a passion for crop production that is in harmony with the broad ecosystem. Thus, my fascination and excitement at the biological control of pre-harvest diseases of economic importance. This aligns with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (SDG 2 and 13) and the global desire of sustainably produced food.
