Associations, Propagators Join to Present Grower Education Seminars on White Rust

ANLA and SAF join Yoder Brothers, Ball Horticultural Company and GroLink, the major U.S. propagation and breeding companies, in presenting an important opportunity for growers — a free, 30-minute educational Webinar on Chrysanthemum White Rust (CWR).

CWR is a quarantine-significant pest, so it's particularly important for growers to be aware of the steps they can take to avoid the disease in their fall chrysanthemum crops.

The Webinar is a seminar conducted in person by Dr. Jane Trolinger, Diagnostics and Audits Manager, Yoder Brothers.  It is presented entirely online, and participants attend from their computers. The session includes excellent photographs that teach growers how to recognize the symptoms of the disease. It also offers important advice on how to avoid White Rust in 2008 mum crops.

The Webinar will be held on several different days, at either 10 a.m. or 2 p.m., so that growers can choose a session that best fits their schedule. Sessions are listed below.
