AsiaBlight International Meeting in Beijing, China 25-27 October, 2019
3rd AsiaBlight International Meeting
AsiaBlight is an inclusive network of scientists, government officials, companies, farmers, institutes and other stakeholders working towards improving the management of potato Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans) in Asia.The AsiaBlight network started in Nepal in 2014 and now it has a website (www.asiablight.org) to facilitate communication..
The aims of AsiaBlight’s international meeting is to share information, knowledge and technology, promote collaborations and research among Late Blight stakeholders in Asia. This includes the study of late blight populations and their geographical mapping, pest management strategie, and other topics.
The meeting will focus on 4 themes:
- Potato Late Blight in Asia and Beyond
- Late Blight Population Dynamics in Asia: Population Biology and Genetics
- Plant-Pathogen Interaction and Potato (host) Resistance
- LB Integrated Pest Management, Fungicides and Late Blight Decision Support Systems (DSS)
Late Blight experts from more than 15 different countries around the world will join
The conference will have a maximum capacity of 100 attendees.
