Without the technical assistance of Brooke Edmunds (Ph.D. student in plant pathology) and funding from the Center for Plant Health Science and Technology, this key would not exist. Brooke did much of the early work on gathering materials for Fact Sheets and setting up preliminary features and states for scoring diseases. She also became very proficient with the software for both Lucid and Fact Sheet Fusion. Her assistance was invaluable throughout the project. Several photographs were contributed by Dr. Thomas A. Zitter of Cornell University. Each of these is labeled as to the author/copyright holder. I am grateful to
Dr. Benny D. Bruton of the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Lane,
Oklahoma for his assistance in scoring the diseases. His many years
of experience with cantaloupe diseases all over the world were critical
to the accuracy of the key. |
