This report provides research and extension results for trials conducted by the University of Georgia Vegetable Team and its collaborators in the 2024-2025 growing season. Management of diseases is necessary to protect crops against disease pathogens and reduce their spread in vegetable fields. This study aims to detect Phytophthora blight severity, a major disease affecting pepper plants, using drone technologies. Contributing authors include county and regional faculty as well as specialists from UGA’s horticulture, plant pathology, crop and soil sciences, and entomology departments. All research has been supported by the Georgia Commodity Commission for Vegetables.

This circular provides a basic summary of the best management practices of integrated mosquito management. These practices begin with education and communication and progress through surveillance, source reduction, larviciding, and adulticiding. The circular presents guidelines that communities can use to help develop the most effective mosquito management program possible with the resources available. Using these practices will help to minimize pesticide exposure to pollinators and other non-target pests.
