Extension of deadline for abstract submission to the EFPP in Uppsala, Sweden, June 3-5

by Michelle Cleary

Dear colleagues, The 14th Conference of the European Foundation for Plant Pathology will be hosted in Sweden (Uppsala) this summer. While this conference is largely dominated by agricultural and horticultural plant pathology, there will be a forest pathology-themed session within the conference program and a field excursion to look at a plethora of forest pathogens affecting broadleaved and conifer forests. The conference website is here: https://www.efpp2025.com/ Note: abstract submission has been extended to February 14th.

Time sensitive: assist w IUFRO task force proposal monitoring forest disease/insect outbreaks

by Geoffrey Williams - FS

Dear colleagues, I am requesting your help on an IUFRO task force and a proposal this week. The concept note was approved, but the full proposal is due Nov 30. Henrik Hartmann previously led a task force on monitoring global tree mortality patterns and trends, and we would like to extend and integrate this with pest monitoring. The idea is to identify gaps in need of improvement internationally and coordinate efforts to integrate efforts internationally. I am currently leading the effort but transitioning to a new position that will likely make it difficult to coordinate the activities of the task force without help from other deputies. This task force would need help and to network with many of you and others internationally in any case. If you can help please reply ASAP. For background, here is a link that describes what a task force is. There is no $ involved, just plans to network and form a team to coordinate activities internationally toward a common goal: IUFRO: Task Forces / Science in IUFRO <https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/> *We are seeking help from you on this proposal by the end of the week.* Specifically, I would like to know - If you can serve as deputies helping to coordinate task force activities - If you can serve as a member of the task force - If you would like to help with the proposal, reply and I will send you a link to the proposal; currently, we want to have workshops/seminars to talk about integrating surveys, monitoring, remote sensing, and inventory efforts internationally, a list of sentinel tree monitoring programs and research internationally, and a database and/or standards to house information from them, as well as workshops, seminars, and publications integrating parallel or ongoing efforts. - If you can help *coordinate team building activities or workshops* through your institution(s)/agency(ies) over the next years – we can seek outside or inside funds for these as well - for example - Directory of sentinel monitoring efforts - Workshop on establishing standards and repositories for data from international sentinel monitoring programs - International workshop(s) on inventories and how to integrate them? - International workshop(s) on remote sensing programs and how to integrate them? - International workshop(s) on pest surveys and how to integrate them? - International workshop(s) on integrating inventories, remote sensing, and surveys internationally? - If you can help network with colleagues in China or the global south to be part of the proposed task force - Additional potential members of the task force Thanks for your last minute help Regards *Geoff Williams, PhD International Sentinel Network Coordinator* *Forest Service * *International Programs* *Office of the Chief* *Office: +1 (202) 263-9231* *WhatsApp: +1 (208) 874-7604 **geoffrey.williams(a)usda.gov* <geoffrey.williams(a)usda.gov> 2601 Coolidge Rd, Ste. 203 East Lansing, MI 48823 www.fs.fed.us <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fs.fed…> www.fs.fed.us/about-agency/international-programs <https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fs.fed…> *Caring for the land and serving people*

Fwd: Symposium on losses to pathogens and pests in agriculture and forestry

by Pascal Frey

Dear forest pathologists and entomologists, Andrea Ficke (NIBIO, Norway, Chair of the Crop Loss Committee of the International Society of Plant Pathology), Serge Savary (INRAE, France, retired), Neil McRoberts (UC Davis, USA) and some others are thinking about organizing an International Symposium on losses to pathogens and pests in agriculture and forestry, with the support of FAO. They are seeking some forest health specialists who are interested in concepts and methods to assess losses in forests (see below). If you are intereststed, here is a link to a Doodle poll for the next online meeting to discuss about this symposium : https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dBQmvo2b Best regards, Pascal Frey Dr Pascal FREY Head of the Department of Tree - Microbe Interactions INRAE, University of Lorraine Ecology of Forest Pathogenic Fungi team UMR1136 IAM F-54280 Champenoux FRANCE E-mail:pascal.frey@inrae.fr https://mycor.nancy.inra.fr/IAM/?page_id=731 -------- Message transféré -------- Sujet : Symposium on losses to pathogens and pests in agriculture and forestry Date : Fri, 11 Oct 2024 09:00:50 +0200 De : Serge Savary <ssavary01(a)gmail.com> Pour : Pascal Frey <pascal.frey(a)inrae.fr> Copie à : Andrea Ficke <Andrea.Ficke(a)nibio.no>, Neil McRoberts <nmcroberts(a)ucdavis.edu> Dear Pascal, There are discussions ongoing on the above subject. The question of losses to pathogens and pests has not been addressed in a formal methodology text for nearly 5 decades. An update is long overdue. We're working, with Andrea Ficke, NIBIO, as lead (Chair of the Crop Loss Committee of the ISPP) on the organisation of an international symposium which would address all the new techniques/methods/technologies to address losses to pathogens and pests. The FAO has indicated its support. The ongoing discussions are about the goal and contents of this symposium, its participants, and its outputs (e.g., a small book). It would be exceedingly important that forest pathology be properly represented in the ongoing discussions, and of course the symposium itself. Forest Pathology, I am sure, has its own way of looking at things, its own logic/paradigms, and its own methods. These need to be reported / documented / explained / illustrated with simple examples anyone, anywhere in the world, can understand). I am writing to you to ask you if you could find the time to attend those meetings, and participate in the discussions. Also, it would be very good if you could indicate to us colleagues in Forest Pathology who could participate. These could be colleagues in France, or anywhere else in the world. I am in India currently, away from my usual files, and battling against (most) unreliable internet. It may be that I already reached tout to you. In that case, please accept my apologies. I am not trying to put any pressure. Any advice that you could have to Andrea, Neil, and me, would be most helpful. With very best wishes, Serge PS the next meeting will be on one of these dates: 25, 28, 29 october, 6, 7, 8 November - at 2 to 4 pm, irrespective of the date chosen. If ever you're available, please let Andrea know your preferred dates. Anyone of the colleagues you know, and who would be interested to attend, would be most welcome too. -- *Serge Savary* Editor-in-Chief, Food Security- www.springer.com/life+sci/agriculture/journal/12571 <http://www.springer.com/life+sci/agriculture/journal/12571> Adjunct Professor - IARI, New Delhi; Professor of Plant Pathology(Hon.), GBPUA&T, India Directeur de Recherche ORSTOM, IRD, INRA (Ret.); Visiting Scholar - UC Davis, USA; Guest Researcher, Univ. of Twente, ITC, The Netherlands; Chevalier du Mérite Agricole, France; Fellow, ISPP; APS ORCID: 0000-0002-6867-180X
