Extension Plant Pathology:
Bringing Our Science to the Public,
A Century of Service

   Extension plant pathologists in the United States have been the official “face of our science” to our public clientele since the passage of the Smith-Lever Act in 1914. While the role of translator between the universities and their clientele hasn’t changed much in the last century, the means by which extension plant pathologists complete their mission of service and education has undergone considerable evolution.

   Learn about the evolution of extension plant pathology from this month's APSnet Feature, which continues the 2008 Centennial celebration.
