In this introductory episode of The Current Cucurbit podcast series, Dr. Gleason (project leader) sketches out our research on mesotunnels as an option for organic growers.

Part of the challenge for mesotunnels is to stop two devastating diseases: bacterial wilt (caused by Erwinia tracheiphila) and CYVD (cucurbit yellow vine disease, caused by Serratia marcescens). The podcast explains how mesotunnels can meet this challenge.

This series can help you decide if mesotunnels make sense for your farm.
