Results from a large plot field experiment will be presented.  Verticillium wilt incidence ratings were made throughout the growing season.  Aerial images of the field were taken and reflectance data will be correlated with incidence ratings and yield maps.  Information from petiole analyses with a focus on potassium and the potential implications on disease development will also be discussed.
