1st International Symposium on Biological Control of Bacterial Plant Diseases

Following the first successful commercial development in the 1980s of strain K-84 of Agrobacterium radiobacter against crown rot of stone fruit in Australia, extensive work on biocontrol of bacterial diseases on many other host plants has been undertaken. In the case of fire blight, the potential replacement of the antibiotic streptomycin, which is not allowed in most of the European countries, has stimulated research in the field of biological control of this bacterial disease. But also for other bacterial diseases in field and horticultural crops, biocontrol methods are urgently needed. Therefore, with this symposium, a survey on the status of biocontrol measures on the most of the commercial crops should be initiated.
The organizing committee herewith invites all plant pathologists to initiate a broad discussion on all aspects of biological control of bacterial plant diseases. It should include the promotion and the development of environmentally safe control strategies, both current or as a potential future opportunity.

The Institute for Biological Control of the Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry (BBA), together with the University of Darmstadt, will be pleased to welcome as many colleagues from worldwide as possible, and would like to thank in advance all those participants who will contribute and assist to make this first meeting successful and scientifically stimulating.

Help

Search / advanced search of the idw archives
Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
