Research
Carolina’s project goal is to study alternative active ingredients of fungicides for Colletotrichum acutatum management. Additionally, she aims to investigate the relationship between C. acutatum inoculum concentration and disease outcome during strawberry plant establishment stage. Moreover, she has been collaborating in other projects of the program, such as developing molecular tools for detection and differentiation of strawberry pathogens, cooperating at the Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic, and testing effective options of chemical control for other pathogens on strawberry crop.
