Article Synopsis
- The study developed methods using floral extraction and bioassays to monitor the bloom period and chemical cues related to fungal pathogens, particularly Colletotrichum fioriniae in blueberries and cranberries.
- Floral extracts were obtained through water, chloroform, and rainwater methods, allowing researchers to analyze the pathogen's response to different floral chemical cues and waxes.
- These bioassays are quick and cost-effective, offering valuable information for disease management by identifying the presence of stimulating floral compounds and enhancing understanding of infection risks during the growing season.
