Updated programme and participants list |
The 13th EuroBlight Workshop, 9-12 October 2011 is hosted by N.I. Vavilov Research Institute of Plant Industry, St Petersburg, Russia. The Workshop will be attended by 91 persons from 20 European countries, Russia, Israel, Chile, Argentine and United States of America. Representatives from all countries will present information on the late blight epidemic in 2010 and 2011and recent research results regarding integrated control, decision support systems, resistance of varieties and population biology of the late blight pathogen in potatoes. Since early blight is an increasing problem in Europe reports on this disease are also included.
The papers and posters presented at the Workshop and discussions in the subgroups will be published in the Proceedings, PPO-Special Report no. 15. The current and previous Proceedings are also available on the EuroBlight website www.EuroBlight.net.

Euroblight statement from St. Petersburg Workshop
1. The very fast and sudden changes in populations of the late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans in Europe, America and possibly Africa stress the need for constant monitoring of population structures and characterizing invasive genotypes, to understand the reasons for these changes and finally predict them.
2. EuroBlight strongly recommends that EU countries establish an ERA-NET program dedicated to population biovigilance for IPM with harmonized protocols, shared methodologies and an integrated database facility to store and exploit the data in real time. EuroBlight offers to serve as a pilot network to test the practicality of such a setup.
3. EuroBlight volunteers to contribute to the elaboration of harmonized Country Specific Guidelines for Integrated Potato Protection in Europe, and to their validation through the demonstration farms involved in the National Action Plans.
4. EuroBlight offers to contribute its tools and platforms to establish these networks, and to transfer them for the implementation of similar networks on other major agricultural pests of important food crops.
5. EuroBlight therefore demands that the three integrative activities outlined above (population monitoring of major pathogens and pests; construction and validation of Crop Specific Guidelines; development and maintenance of ad-hoc, web based, and collaborative information platforms) be developed and supported over time through the core funding dedicated to the implementation of the National Action Plans.
