In this episode we are joined by Dr. Emran Ali, plant pathologist at the University of Georgia. Emran is currently the director of the Plant Molecular Diagnostic Lab at UGA. Emran came on the podcast to talk about how fungicide resistance comes about, what farmers can do to prevent or slow down the formation of resistance, and why it is important to know whether you are dealing with fungicide resistance on a farm level. Emran also discussed fungicide resistance testing that the Plant Molecular Diagnostic lab has to offer for strawberries, how to send in samples to assure you get good results, and limited funding for free tests provided by the Southern Region Small Fruit Consortium.
