  • Serve the region’s fresh vegetable, processing vegetable, and vegetable seed crop industries

Upcoming Events

Vegetable Diagnosis Workshop, November 18, Kennewick, WA

Ten field-based case studies of vegetable diseases, insect/mite pests, or other production problems will be used in this hands-on workshop to illustrate a systematic process of diagnosing plant problems.
 
2008 International Spinach Conference, Nov 30–Dec 2, San Antonio, Texas

PNW-VEG Activities

We schedule conference calls during the growing season to discuss current vegetable diseases, pests, and other problems observed in the region. Conference calls are followed by electronic newsletters with up-to-date information on the biology and control of selected vegetable pathogens and pests. We maintain a calendar of vegetable-related activities in Washington, and a web site which includes information and resources about identifying and managing vegetable diseases, pests, and other problems. Digital images of plant disease, pest, and abiotic specimens are relayed electronically among team member locations to expedite diagnoses. Disease diagnosis workshops and vegetable disease and pest field tours are also coordinated by the PNW-VEG.
