Minicell-based fungal RNAi delivery for sustainable crop protection
(2021-02)Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) using topical dsRNA applications has risen as a promising, target-specific, and environmentally friendly disease management strategy against phytopathogenic fungi. However, dsRNA stability, ... -
Strain, Soil-Type, Irrigation Regimen, and Poultry Litter Influence Salmonella Survival and Die-off in Agricultural Soils
(2021-03-16)The use of untreated biological soil amendments of animal origin (BSAAO) have been identified as one potential mechanism for the dissemination and persistence of Salmonella in the produce growing environment. Data on factors ... -
Season-Long Monitoring of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) Throughout the United States Using Commercially Available Traps and Lures
(2020-02)Reliable monitoring of the invasive Halyomorpha halys abundance, phenology and geographic distribution is critical for its management. Halyomorpha halys adult and nymphal captures on clear sticky traps and in black pyramid ... -
Identification of quantitative trait loci associated with nitrogen use efficiency in winter wheat
(2020-02-24)Maintaining winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity with more efficient nitrogen (N) management will enable growers to increase profitability and reduce the negative environmental impacts associated with nitrogen ... -
Microbiome convergence following sanitizer treatment and identification of sanitizer resistant species from spinach and lettuce rinse water
(2020-04-02)Fresh produce, as a known or suspected source of multiple foodbome outbreaks, harbors large populations of diverse microorganisms, which are partially released into wash water during processing. However, the dynamics of ... -
Salmonella inactivation and cross-contamination on cherry and grape tomatoes under simulated wash conditions
(2020-05)Washing in chlorinated water is widely practiced for commercial fresh produce processing. While known as an effective tool for mitigating food safety risks, chlorine washing could also represent an opportunity for spreading ... -
Using IPM-CPR as a Management Program for Apple Orchards
(2020-08)We have demonstrated how management of key orchard pests including the insect invasive species Halyomorpha halys (Stal) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) can be accomplished using a systems-level approach termed IPM-CPR (Integrated ... -
Correlation of Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes in Irrigation Water to Environmental Factors, Fecal Indicators, and Bacterial Communities
