Conference Topics

The conference programme will cover all aspects of potato diseases (epidemiology & management, pathogen diversity, detection, etc.), and will also include a session on biocontrol and innovations in potato crop protection. In addition, we would particularly like to encourage presentations on pests (wireworms, Colorado beetles, nematodes, etc..) which currently pose a real threat to potato crops due to factors including the removal of effective pesticides, climate change and changes in agricultural practices.
