The main objectives of this project are to implement research methodologies to know the phytosanitary status of the most important agricultural cultivations in Baja California Sur and northwestern México and generate the knowledge that will allow a sustainable and inocuous agriculture. We specifically study diseases caused by pathogens, such as virus, fungi, and bacteria, including vector insects that cause them...

Phytoplasma is a very severe pathogen and little known by Mexican producers not only from our State, but also from other states that produce vegetables, fruits, and other important cultivations. In our state the presence of phytoplasma has been confirmed in papaya, chile, tomato, cucumber, basil, and some wild plants during our studies in the last 3 years. Phytoplasma diagnosis and the study of its possible vectors is a high priority matter in the state of BCS to comply with the demands of a sustainable agriculture, both in conventional and organic systems...

The main objective of this study is to implement research methodologies to know the phytosanitary status of high priority agricultural cultivations in Baja California Sur and northwestern Mexico, and to generate knowledge that allows a sustainable and innocuous agriculture. Específically we study diseases caused by pathogens such as virus, fungus, and bacteria, including vector insects that cause them...
