El Taller de Manejo de Enfermedades de Uva de Vino 2021, será presentado en forma virtual el 1ro  de Marzo del 2021.

Este taller se presentara de una forma diferente.  El Dr. Mizuho Nita ha preparado una serie de videos los cuales han sido traducidos al Español por Beth Sastre. Le recomendamos que usted vea los videos que le son de su interés en preparación para la presentación virtual. Los videos son de aproximadamente 20 min y abarcan conceptos de patología de plantas, agentes biológicos y otros métodos alternativos de control de enfermedades, manejo para evitar la resistencia a los fungicidas y la presentación de la nueva herramienta in línea llamada grapeIPM.org. Si usted no tiene tiempo de revisar todo este material antes del taller, por favor revise el módulo principal. En el taller virtual nos enfocaremos principalmente en preguntas y respuestas.

Si está interesado/a por favor mande un correo a Beth Sastre a flores69@vt.edu, para que le envié la invitación al curso y los videos y materiales necesarios.
