Botrytis bunch rot, or gray mold, exists in all vineyards worldwide. This disease is caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea and is commonly associated with the decay of ripe or nearly ripe grapes.

Over the years, many Americans have succumbed to the model minority myth, which describes Asian Americans as the "ideal" racial minority: They work hard, do well in school, and go on to have successful careers. These stereotypes — though ostensibly positive-sounding — ultimately do more harm than good. Because of the model minority myth, Asian Americans often receive less aid and support throughout their lives, particularly in their academic and professional endeavors. This myth also overlooks the fact that Asian Americans are a diverse group of people, with unique cultures, backgrounds, and aspirations. Busting the model minority stereotype is necessary for ensuring diversity and racial equity in higher education. In this article, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) specialist Farzana Nayani speaks on the persistence of this racist myth and the steps society must take to dismantle it.

Research focused on crop and product quality, alleviation of poverty and hunger, reduced impacts on climate change, and industry support world-wide

Earl Casida, Penn State professor emeritus of microbiology, and his wife, Veronica, of State College, have given $100,000 to establish two scholarships in the College of Agricultural Sciences. The L. Earl and Veronica Casida Scholarship will benefit undergraduates who have outstanding academic achievement or promise. First preference will be given to students majoring in plant pathology. The L. Earl and Veronica Casida Graduate Scholarship in Plant Pathology will benefit academically outstanding graduate students.

This tutorial is designed to encourage you to think about how you see others - and how you see yourself - based on all of the things that have gone into making you who you are. As you move through this tutorial and think about your own experiences with what you find here, we hope that you will join us in recognizing the richness that diversity brings to your life and in celebrating the opportunities that being here bring to you.

Several participants stand in front of the conference room with peach branches and pruning shears. They demonstrate how they use pruning to manage fruit yield. Questions are asked, solutions contemplated, and years of experience shared—all in Spanish.
