Ohalo has partnered with the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Florida Foundation Seed Producers, Inc., and the Florida Strawberry Growers Association (FSGA) to combat the serious threat of neopestalotiopsis in strawberries. This collaboration aims to develop innovative solutions to protect and enhance strawberry production, leveraging Ohalo's cutting-edge breeding technology.
Disease resistant strawberry variety benefits:
Mitigating Crop Losses
Neopestalotiopsis has been a significant threat to strawberry yields, causing severe damage in affected fields. New disease resistant varieties will stabilize crop yields, reduce field losses, and increase overall production consistency.
Lower Production Costs
Neopestalotiopsis management strategies are expensive and labor-intensive. Disease resistant varieties decrease reliance on costly fungicides, minimize the need for intensive field management practices, and yield substantial savings in chemical inputs and labor costs.
More Sustainable Farming
Disease-resistant varieties offer a long-term solution to disease management, reducing the environmental impact of chemical treatments, and supporting the industry’s move towards more eco-friendly practices.
