ipm PIPE Innovative Disease Diagnostic Tools for Onion

ipm. PIPE & Innovative Disease Diagnostic Tools for Onion Growers Goal: invest resources into onion production to respond to the needs of onion stakeholders across the U. S. (USDA-NIFA SCRI Project No. 2010 -01193) Create an Onion ipm. PIPE Network - focus on onion thrips and IYSV, with general support for other disease / pest diagnostics and IPM strategies Develop, improve and enhance macroarray diagnostic tools for priority pathogens of onion, as well as potential food-borne threats Relate Disease Risk Assessment models to economic monitoring and sustainability via the Onion ipm. PIPE
