Report on Western Nursery Pathology Workshop
Monday, August 14, 2000
Waikoloa,
Hawaii
The
19th annual Nursery Pathology Workshop was held in conjunction with the Western
International Forest Disease Work Conference on Monday, August 14, 2000 from 10
am to 4 pm. Approximately a dozen
participants included state, federal, and industrial forest pathologists
involved in forest tree nurseries, and other interested individuals.
Participants
shared their news, projects, and concerns.
Discussions of particular interest included Sudden Oak Death in
California by Susan Frankel, and the “Nursery Management Reliable Process”
program by Willis Littke. In this
Weyerhaeuser program, monitoring of soil pathogens is integral to the decision
of when to fumigate.
New
participants were added to the Nursery Pathology Mailing List, which was sent
electronically to each participant who provided an e-mail address.
