Learning is a continuous part of life and we strive to teach and learn with others.
Here you can find when our research talks and outreach events that are happening or recent ones we have participated in.
We will provide links below as we are able to, thank you for your understanding!
- Jerry Weiland – Scouting for Boxwood Blight
This video details how to find boxwood blight in commercial nurseries. The tips for scouting this disease are relatively universal, so they can be used at almost any nursery when searching for boxwood blight! Below is the link to the demonstration video in both English and Spanish. English Demonstration Video Spanish Demonstration Video - Robert Martin – Luteovirus in Blueberries
Last week, Bob Martin gave a talk on a new luteovirus in blueberries at the International Vaccinium Symposium! If you’re interested in learning more, click the link below to watch Bob give his talk. Link to video here
