To further celebrate International Day of Plant Health, we are relaunching our Photographic Competition! ☘️🌻🦗🦠📸😊
Top prize is €200, with a runner up, and student prize of €100! 💶
Details are below 👇
Remember, when taking pics, don't become a vector for disease spread!
For all involved in the production of Irish horticultural crops this is a really important survey. The more information Jennifer can capture the better we can tailor our IPM strategies, which is as critical now as it ever was

Realise that I look a little perplexed in the photo…..but in my defence I am looking at Z. tritici munching it’s way through wheat seedlings!

Open PhD position! RT
We know plant pathogens are genetically diverse, but how much diversity is there within single fields?
What does that mean for overcoming resistance traits or fungicides and for diagnostics thereof?
Want to help find out? Apply!
