Current and Past APS Annual Sessions

2008 Annual Meeting Symposium: Citrus Canker: A Case Study in Regulatory Plant Pathology; Past, Present and Future. Symposium will focus on the complete cycle of plant health regulations for a quarantined plant pathogen using citrus canker as an example. The events which occurred during the eradication program in Florida will be addressed including science and risk assessment issues, legislative process, industry involvement and disease management. The symposium will also consider the changing trend in establishing future programs which incorporate a larger industry involvement in addressing pest management practices
