F&N Tests to Begin Accepting Soybean Rust Trials May 1,
2005
In an effort to facilitate the rapid
dissemination of fungicide evaluations for the
control of soybean rust, trial results for this disease may be submitted
for publication in
Fungicide
and Nematicide Tests
as early as May 1, 2005. New soybean rust reports will then be published online
in real time. "It's hoped that by
publishing in real time, we can facilitate the flow of information on control of
this economically important disease," said Dan Egel, F&N Tests
Editor-in-Chief. Submissions for
real-time publication will be accepted from May 1 through December 31, 2005
and
special submission guidelines are now available. Reports will
typically be published online within 15 days of acceptance,
and will be citable as F&N Tests, Volume 60.
Published by the
American
Phytopathological Society,
F&N Tests disseminates
information on control of plant diseases in well over 100 field, ornamental, and
horticultural crops. In order to make trial
results as broadly available as possible, F&N Tests is
available at no extra cost to subscribers and partners of the Plant
Management Network under
"Resources." |
