1 Plant Pathology Program at Langdon Research Extension Center Pravin Gautam Plant Pathologist North Dakota State University Langdon Research Extension Center

2 LANGDON RESEARCH EXTENSION CENTER My Background  BSc. (Agriculture) – Tribhuvan University (TU), Nepal  MS (Plant Science) – South Dakota State University (SDSU)  Corn breeding – Dr. Zeno Wicks III  PhD (Plant Pathology) – University of Minnesota (UMN)  Fusarium head blight of wheat – Dr. Ruth Dill-Macky  Postdoc @ SDSU  Fungal and bacterial diseases of cereal  Drs. Jeff Stein and William Berzonsky  Plant Pathologist – LREC/North Dakota State University

3 LANGDON RESEARCH EXTENSION CENTER Responsibilities  100% research  But get involved in extension activities  Applied research on management of diseases of canola and cereals (spring wheat, durum, barley)  Other crops (sunflower, dry beans, soybeans, flax)  Corn?

4 LANGDON RESEARCH EXTENSION CENTER Types of Research  Only applied research can be done as of this year  Epidemiological studies  Disease management studies  Integrated disease management  Commercially available and pipeline fungicide efficacy studies  Majority of trials are with seed and chemical companies  Collaborative studies with breeders and pathologists based at main campus and other RECs

5 LANGDON RESEARCH EXTENSION CENTER Year 2013  6 Wheat trials (fusarium head blight, leaf spots and blotch)  2 wheat trials (seed treatment)  1 barley trial (FHB and leaf diseases)  3 Canola trials (white mold)  2 Sunflower trials (white mold) – Dr. Michael Wunsch (Carrington REC)

6 LANGDON RESEARCH EXTENSION CENTER Year 2014  Establishment of wheat common and Fusarium root rot nursery  USDA/USWBSI  Uniform fungicide trials (wheat)  integrated disease management (wheat)  MN Wheat/ ND Wheat Commission  Wheat root rot study  Wheat bacterial streak study

7 LANGDON RESEARCH EXTENSION CENTER Year 2014  ND Soybean Council  Planting date x seed treatment for root diseases  Bio-control of soybean white mold  Row spacing, host resistance and fungicide study on white mold  National Sclerotinia Initiatives/USDA  Sunflower hybrid screening for white mold  Sunflower inoculation timing study  Studies in coordination with seed and chemical companies

8 LANGDON RESEARCH EXTENSION CENTER New Agronomy/Pathology Lab  New lab will be ready to run by the end of 2014  Possibility of lab based research  Pathogen isolates identification, isolation, characterization

9 LANGDON RESEARCH EXTENSION CENTER Road Ahead  Independent and collaborative researches  Studying biological aspect of disease and its management grants  Disease management Fungicide screening Integrated disease management  Collaboration Pathologists and breeders at main campus Researchers at other RECs Researchers at other states Private industries  Opportunities for students to gain off-campus applied research experiences: internships, mentoring, visiting scholars
