Pest and Disease Diagnostics for International Trade and Food Security
August 22 – September 2, 2011
The Ohio State University
Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center
Wooster, Ohio USA
Why Take This Course?
Accurate identification of plant diseases and insect pests is the first step in integrated pest management. It is also a linchpin in international agricultural trade, as freedom from pests and diseases is a pre-requisite to phytosanitary certification. Plant disease and pest diagnosis in both field and laboratory settings requires extensive training and hands-on experience in traditional and modern diagnostic methods. The Ohio State University will conduct a 2-week, lab-based short course providing intensive training in classical and modern plant disease and insect pest diagnostics for up to 15 participants. Training in data management, networking, and Sanitary/Phytosanitary (SPS) issues that affect international trade will also be provided.
