The big day

Today is the big day for the set up of my first full scale foliar inoculation field experiment. This experiment is designed to run each season of the year for 2 years to allow for epidemiological data to be compared between the 8 different Phytophthora spp being studied, the 2 Rhodie cultivars being used, and the 4 seasons of the year. I will also be running a concurrent root inoculation experiment in the same way which should begin in the next couple of weeks. Pictures coming soon...
