Pathogens infecting potted culinary herbs have gone largely understudied in the U.S. despite an increase in herb demand over the last decade. My objective is to identify the plant pathogens frequently associated with greenhouse-grown potted herbs. Identifying plant pathogens commonly associated with herbs will facilitate future development of effective disease control strategies. New control strategies for greenhouse-grown herbs are advancing through the USDA funded project CEA HERB: Controlled Environment Agriculture Herb Extension and Research Base.
