Soybean Rust Short Course
When: August 26-27, 2010
Where: UF-NFREC, Quincy, Florida
This Short Course has been designed with the agricultural specialist or consultant in mind; the intended audience includes soybean professionals from across the country. As such, we will concentrate on hands-on identification of the disease on the plant. We will also talk about scouting techniques and demonstrate methods we use to maximize our chances of finding the signs of this pathogen in the field. There will be a section concerning field trials as well. Agenda. Registration is free, but advance registration is required. Please send the following information to clharmon@ufl.edu: First and last name, state, occupation, work phone number, address, and mobile phone number in case of emergencies (we are in hurricane season, after all). Two hotels are within a two-minute drive: Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn Express, both on Spooner Rd., just across I-10 from the center. Tallahassee Airport is just 30 minutes east.
