Registrations are open for the educational webinar series A Lighter Touch is hosting this month focusing on soilborne diseases.
Soilborne diseases (SBD) are a major problem in many crops, causing crop losses, and costing growers millions of dollars in some sectors. Since ALT started, SBD have been amongst the highest-ranking crop protection gaps across all sectors.
The purpose of the webinar series is to share what is currently known about SBD, what management tools growers have available to them now, and the direction of future innovations for management of these diseases:
Webinar 1: Why are soilborne diseases so challenging? with Len Tesoriero, Wednesday September 10 from 10am-11am.
Webinar 2: Nematodes and their relationship with soilborne diseases with Manjula Kularathna, Wednesday September 17 from 10am-11am.
