As plant diseases evolve, so are ways of tackling them through plant science. Join us as we delve into the world of diseases and pests that pose a threat to Canada’s agricultural landscape, and new ways scientists are fighting back against them.
In this session, we will explore:
- The Latest Findings: Discover recent research on pathogens and pests like soybean cyst nematode (SCN), wheat midge and root rot in pulses.
- How Researchers are Finding Solutions: Learn about cutting-edge techniques for tackling these threats.
Who Should Attend:
- Farmers and agronomists seeking to protect their crops and livelihoods.
- Researchers and students interested in entomology, plant pathology and breeding.
- Government officials and policymakers responsible for agricultural health and safety.
- Environmental advocates looking to understand the intersection of agriculture and ecosystem health.
