11th Conference of the European Foundation for Plant Pathology
After the two preceding EFPP conferences — Evora (Portugal 2010) and Wageningen (The Netherlands 2012) — dealing with integrated plant disease management (IPM) the organizing committee has chosen Healthy plants — healthy people for the theme of the Kraków conference. This seemed a natural continuation of IPM issue, as the system will be obligatory since 1st January 2014 in all EU countries as a standard. The widespread implementation of IPM will result in a reduction of environmental pollution with chemicals and increase food security which will have its impact on human health and quality of life. Therefore, scientific contributions are expected to cover a variety of interdisciplinary topics ranging from recent progress in integrated management of major diseases of food crops, forests and ornamentals to more specific topics, emphasizing:
|
New pathogens and shifts in pathogenicity
|
Environmental effect on plant diseases
|
We hope that the Kraków conference will be a good forum to present results of research, exchange ideas and share experience, so as to facilitate establishing further working partnerships and friendships.
