Why Attend the Annual Tomato Disease Workshop?

Started in the early 80's to address bacterial canker, the Workshop has expanded to include presentations on a wide array of diseases that currently threaten the profitability of the industry. Currently, this is the only workshop that focuses strictly on presenting up to date information on currently critical tomato disease problems. The goal is to provide a forum for the presentation of new products and recent research results which address disease etiology, pathogen epidemiology, breeding for disease resistance, and chemical, cultural, and biological disease-management strategies.

Who Should Attend

The workshop is open and relevant 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.
