  • The consensus of last year's discussions was that the Disease Control Committee should be dissolved (primarily due to lack of interest). The other four WIFDWC committees should include topics dealing with disease control in their discussions. Disease control applications in forest nurseries will be included in the nursery pathology meeting attached to WIFDWC. A summary of that meeting will be included in the WIFDWC proceedings each year. This conclusions will need to be voted upon by the membership during the 2002 Business Meeting.
