Send us a text

Our conversation sheds light on the complex life cycle of white mold, with an emphasis on its overwintering capabilities and infection process. We explore how environmental conditions, such as dense canopies and high organic matter, fuel its development and discuss emerging research on managing root infections through seed treatments. By understanding the unique behavior of white mold, you can craft effective strategies that mitigate its drastic impact on yields. Eric also shares valuable insights into the role of light wavelengths in apothecia development, adding another layer to our understanding of this resilient pathogen.
