PMN to Host
Plant Disease Management Reports

The 2007 volumes of the APS publications Fungicide and Nematicide Tests and Biological and Cultural Tests for Control of Plant Diseases will be merged into a new publication, Plant Disease Management Reports (PDMR). “The change results from the recognition of the largely overlapping set of authors and users of the former two publications who will benefit from having the interrelated reports available from a single source,” said PDMR Editor-in-Chief Dan Egel. PDMR will be included in all PMN subscriptions at no additional cost. Submission guidelines are available online. More>>
