Dr. Schnabel's Fruit Pathology Lab

The 2008 Fruit Pathology Lab currently hosts one technician (Karen Bryson), two postdoctoral scientists (Drs. Achour Amiri and Chao-Xi Luo), and two graduate students (Alexis Nagel and Hetal Kalariya).

Outreach Highlights

Extension work is primarily focused on peaches with a little bit of strawberries mixed in. An important outlet of disease management recommendations is the Southeastern Peach, Nectarine, and Plum Pest Management Guide (http://www.ent.uga.edu/pubs.htm) and the Southeastern Peach Growers Handbook (http://www.ent.uga.edu/pubs.htm). Furthermore there will be a book coming out soon “The Peach” with a great educational peach disease chapter. We are working with county agents on resistance profiling in order to optimize brown rot management and minimize environmental exposure of pesticides; and with growers to test novel approaches of disease management in their own fields.
