European phytosanitary Conference on potato and other arable crops
Chernovtsy, Ukraine, 2008-10-07/09
The Conference was organized in Chernovtsy (Bukovina region of Ukraine) in collaboration with the Ukrainian Plant Quarantine Research Station and with the support of the Ministry of Agricultural Policy, Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine and the Main State Plant Quarantine Inspection Service of Ukraine.
More than 200 experts from 35 countries participated in this Conference.
Several sessions took place :
- general session on potato pests: 7 presentations on EPPO and global standards concerning potato, methods used for research, phytosanitary situations regarding potato in EPPO countries;
- session on potato wart disease: 8 presentations on pathotype nomenclature, assessment of potato resistance to the disease, pathotype identification;
- session on ringrot of potato: 9 presentations on surveys and control of ringrot, diagnostic methods, emergency response and eradication;
- session on potato cyst nematodes: 10 presentations on sampling and testing procedures for Globodera spp., monitoring, sources of potato resistance and resistance testing, strategies for control of potato cyst nematode;
- sessions on emerging pest situations of importance for potato: 8 presentations on virus diseases of potato, Meloidogyne minor, PSTVd in ornamental Solanaceae;
- session on phytosanitary problems with arable crops other than potato: 13 presentations on identification of pests, modelling of quarantine pests distribution, pests of sunflower, strawberry, beet, maize, apples, etc.
One of the main purposes of the Conference was to organize intensive exchange of experience between eastern and western parts of the EPPO region on potato pests and other phytosanitary problems on arable crops. This task was successfully accomplished, and further cooperation was discussed during the Conference. Participants of the Conference had the opportunity to visit laboratories of the Ukrainian Plant Quarantine Research Station, which celebrated its 70 years anniversary, and to profit from excellent Ukrainian hospitality.
The Conference was followed by the meeting of the EPPO Panel on Phytosanitary Measures on Potato, which took place in the Ukrainian Plant Quarantine Research Station.
