Evaluation of Strawberry Host Plant Resistance to Powdery Mildew in 21 Genotypes Under Greenhouse Conditions in San Luis Obispo, California, Winter 2024
Powdery mildew of strawberry, caused by Podosphaera aphanis, is an economically important disease that infects flowers, fruit, leaves, and petioles. This report evaluates the host resistance to powdery mildew of 21 cultivars and elite breeding lines (genotypes) under greenhouse conditions in San Luis Obispo, CA, in winter of 2024. Disease incidence and severity were evaluated for all cultivars. Results of this study will inform strawberry growers in selecting resistant cultivars for optimized production.
