This event is organised as a satellite meeting associated with the BSPP Plannt pathology meeting, which is taking place in Oxford on September 10th-13th.
Delegates will be able to register for the entire three-day meeting or only for the one-day AAB-BSPP Workshop.
In this workshop delegates will have the opportunity to learn about new perspectives on surveillance and decision support schemes for control of plant diseases.
The subject matter will include new diagnostic methods, sampling methods, integration of disease control with in-field/rapid pathogen detection, weather-based disease forecast models, expert systems, monitoring pathogen populations for changes in traits such as fungicide resistance, arrival of exotic or sporadic pathogens, new disease threats.

The majority of the day will be comprised of oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts and a discussion session about the current state-of-the-art.
Meeting registration is manged via the BSPP website. AAB members have reduced fees for attending the whole meeting. All AAB non-members who attend this workshop will be offered the opportunity to join the AAB until the end of 2025.
