Article Description

In Western Washington, the two main culprits of raspberry disease are Phtyophtora rubi, a fungal disease, and Pratylenchus penetrans, a root lesion nematode (Weiland et al, 2018). AMF has been hypothesized to be integral in allowing raspberry plants to develop resistance to diseases. Amber’s project builds off the past work of Erika Whitney in the Soil Lab, whose main finding was that AMF did create more tolerance (in the ‘Meeker’ raspberry cultivar) against P. rubi (Whitney, 2020, p. 49). The secondary conclusion was that AMF from cultivated fields was the most effective inoculum when compared to commercial and created AMF inoculums (ibid).
