Research
Study resistance to downy mildew in cucumbers including inheritance of resistance, mechanisms of resistance, fungicide interaction and tolerance. Determine if there are different resistance genes for each mechanism of resistance. Combine resistance from different sources and lines with resistant in different locations. Provide growers with cultivar/fungicide interaction data.
