Major Program: Grains
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The problem:
Red crown rot is a newer disease in the Northern US. It has been increasing it's spread over the past few years and has spread into Kentucky. We are doing studies on the disease to help farmers in Kentucky manage red crown rot
The educational program response:
We have found preliminary results indicating that there are methods that are usable by local Kentucky farmers to help manage and hopefully stop the spread of disease in the state. While some of these methods cost money, there are other methods that should not cost the farmers anything, which is good news.
The participants/target audience:
The participants are farmers, extension specialists, and other professionals in Agriculture
