The Ohio University will conduct a 2-week, lab-based short course providing intensive training in classical and modern plant disease and insect pest diagnostics for up to 15 participants. Training in data management, networking, and Sanitary/Phytosanitary (SPS) issues that affect international trade will also be provided. Instructors experienced in plant disease and pest diagnostics and international trade/SPS issues from The Ohio State University, the National Plant Diagnostic Network, the International Plant Diagnostic Network, other universities, and federal and state agencies will provide hands-on training. A comprehensive training manual and flash drive containing all training materials and presentations will be provided.
