Septoria Leaf Spot Featured in Focus on Tomato
PMN’s latest Focus on Tomato talk, titled “Septoria Leaf Spot of Tomato” by Dr. Tom Zitter, Professor and Extension Plant Pathologist at Cornell University, helps researchers and practitioners in the tomato-growing regions better understand Septoria Leaf Spot (SLS) and how to manage this economically important disease. Focus on Potato Takes on Ag Economics
Focus on Potato has produced two webcasts on the topics of economics and potato production. Both talks were authored by Dr. Joe Guenthner, professor of ag economics at the University of Idaho. The first presentation, titled “Potato Economics,” will help users understand the economics of potato production, consumption and markets. In this talk, viewers learn about the domestic and international issues that can affect the profitability of potato growing, packing, processing and marketing. The second presentation, titled “Potato Economic Issues 2012” covers four economic issues that will affect the potato industry in 2012. Among other things, viewers will learn about market power in the potato marketing chain, potato production costs, and crop protection and the influence of pests on the competitive position of potato production regions.
