Growers -- Learn to Protect Your Business From Chrysanthemum White Rust!

SAF and ANLA join Yoder Brothers, Inc., Ball Horticultural Company and GroLink, the major U.S. propagation and breeding companies, in presenting an important opportunity for growers — a free, 30-minute educational Webinar on Chrysanthemum White Rust.

CWR is a quarantine-significant pest, so it's particularly important for growers to be aware of the steps they can take to avoid the disease in their fall chrysanthemum crops.

An ALERT about the issue was sent to growers on June 24.

The Webinar, conducted by Dr. Jane Trolinger, Diagnostics and Audits Manager, Yoder Brothers, Inc., is presented online. The session includes excellent photographs that show growers how to recognize the symptoms of the disease. It also offers important advice on how to avoid White Rust in 2008 mum crops.

The Webinar will be held on several different days, at either 10:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m., so that growers can choose a session that best fits their schedule. Sessions are listed below.

To register,
