By Michelle Fabio
If you’re a serious tomato grower and you want to be on the cutting edge of what’s going on in disease prevention and containment, you should make your reservations to attend the 22nd Annual Tomato Disease Workshop in Williamsburg, Virginia to be held October 24-26, 2007.
Held in connection with Virginia Tech University, this workshop is the only of its kind to focus specifically on “on presenting up to date information on currently critical tomato disease problems.”
As well as discussing diseases dangerous to tomato growth, the workshop will also discuss disease etiology and pathogen epidemiology as well as ways to manage such diseases, including the introduction of new products to fight against them.
According to the Workshop’s website, the three-day affair is open to “tomato farmers and processors, crop protection specialists, tomato seed industry personnel, Extension educators, and anyone involved in the business of growing tomatoes. Vendors, suppliers, and academic researchers are also invited and encouraged to attend.”
