U of M researchers develop resource to identify corn tar spot
Corn tar spot is a new disease causing significant yield loss in the United States. The lack of information about the pathogen and epidemiology of the disease — which was first reported in the U.S. in 2015 and has since spread to multiple states, including Minnesota in 2019 — has made it difficult to diagnose and treat properly.

Land-grant Universities Helping Solve Needs of Specialty Crop Industries
The Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) promotes collaboration, open communication, the exchange of information and the development of resources that accelerate application of scientific discovery and technology to solving needs of the various specialty crop industries. The Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) promotes collaboration, open communication, the exchange of information and the development of resources that accelerate application of scientific discovery and technology to solving needs of the various specialty crop industries. On Friday, Dec. 9, at 2 p.m. EST, NIFA staff will discuss the SCRI Request for Pre-Application requirements and provide technical assistance to applicants. Across the nation, researchers and Extension specialists at Land-grant Universities funded by the program are addressing critical needs of the specialty crop industries, including conventional and organic food production systems. Fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, and horticulture and nursery crops, including floriculture comprise the bulk of specialty crops. Learn more about some of this NIFA-funded work below. Reducing the Vulnerability of Growers to the Guava Root Knot Nematode Guava root-knot nematode is a highly lethal root-knot roundworm species with the potential to devastate production of multiple crops in the southeastern United States. New resources and information are urgently needed to help farmers manage this aggressive pest that caused the collapse of Brazil’s guava industry. This roundworm is particularly concerning as it can reproduce faster and be more aggressive than other nematode species. Additionally, it has a much wider host range, affecting watermelon, tomato, pepper, carrot, squash, cucumber, soybean, cotton and tobacco crops. Over the last few years, this roundworm has spread across Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Puerto Rico, and is being monitored in Louisiana and Georgia. In North Carolina alone, it has been reported in 13 counties, causin...
