Bacterial canker is a serious disease of tomato that can occur in commercial plantings and home gardens. Recent outbreaks have been documented in various Midwest states e.g., northwest Missouri (2011, 2012) and Ohio (2012). Join us in this webinar featuring presentations by plant pathologists Dan Egel (Purdue University) and Sally Miller (Ohio State University). In this webinar, participants will learn: (1) how to diagnose bacterial canker in the greenhouse and in the field, (2) disease development and spread routes, (3) the most relevant measures that can be taken to prevent disease incidence, and (4) organic and conventional disease management options. This event is being hosted by the Integrated Pest Management Program at Lincoln University of Missouri and is being offered in collaboration with the Ohio State University and Purdue University.
The webinar is suited for Extension educators but farmers and gardeners interested in this topic are welcome to connect. It will be open to the first 100 participants.
