- This $325,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Crop Protection and Pest Management (CPPM) Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329) seeks to characterize fungicide resistance of the Botrytis pathogen affecting a wide range of specialty crops including fruit, ornamentals, vegetable transplants, and row crops in California and Michigan. The key objectives are to: 1) determine the fungicide resistance profile of Botrytis populations...
- This $514,102 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310) will fund research at Texas Tech University investigating an alternative non-toxic solution for controlling plant-parasitic nematodes. The project focuses on naturally occurring bacteria found within nematodes that may drive their survival and impact on plants. It aims to generate the first coherent picture...
- This federal Project Grant award of $300,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI, CFDA 10.310) program will support the development of light-responsive γ-PGA based hydrogels for controlled nematicide delivery to manage plant-parasitic nematodes and improve crop yields. Specifically, the grant will enable researchers at the University of Idaho to develop innovative, biodegradable hydrogel delivery systems that can precisely control the...
- This $325,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Crop Protection and Pest Management Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329) will develop new tools and approaches to better predict and manage fungal foliar diseases in major crops like corn, soybeans, and potatoes. The project will use a combination of low-cost air sampling devices, weather monitoring stations, and DNA sequencing to track disease-causing organisms. This data will be used...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Crop Protection and Pest Management Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.329), supports research to evaluate how engineered wood components in soilless substrates used by greenhouse growers influence soilborne diseases and the effectiveness of biopesticides. The $256,124.36 award to North Carolina State University will inform growers, industry stakeholders, and researchers on best practices to...
- This $299,999 Project Grant was awarded on May 1, 2025 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310). The grant aims to identify potent antagonistic compounds and their inhibition mechanisms against Pythium ultimum, the causal agent of root rot in corn. The research will support the development of biocontrol agents and biopesticides, which will be tested in subsequent field...
