Botrytis and Thrips Campaign

In 2017, a special research campaign was established to address the control and management of botrytis y trips.

Losses from these pests affect all segments of the industry every day. Botrytis and thrips are challenging to control using currently available pesticides and management strategies.

AFE’s goal of reaching $1.5 million in pledges was met in 2019 with contributions from 24 industry leaders and organizations to support new and innovative research to address these challenges. With those funds, AFE has been able to support EIGHT multi-year research projects to reduce losses and produce higher-quality flowers and plants.

The following research projects are currently being funded by the Endowment:
