North-East Zonal Conference
Plant Disease Management for Sustainable Crop Production
December 8-9, 2023
Venue : Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal

It’s our indeed pleasure to put forth that IPS (North East Zone) is organizing Zonal Symposium on “Plant Disease Management for Sustainable Crop Production” from 2-3 December, 2023 (Virtual mode) at Department of Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal. The organizing committee awaits your gracious presence in the symposium.

Healthy plants provide healthy production resultant to healthy life. Plant Pathologist’s are always concerned to devise suitable management strategies for healthy plants to increase production. The nature gives choice to manage these plant diseases incurred by numerous biotic and abiotic factors which are myriad. Physical, cultural, biological, and chemical methods are categorized management methods to hamper the losses. The tremendous advancements in science and technologies are shaping the plant pathologists to frame new techniques to suppress the invading pathogens that impart diseases to plants. The diverse methods of management techniques have imparted plant pathologists with better future hope. The meticulous efforts of plant pathologists should be flashed and discoursed. This symposium provides a vibrant platform to all the plant pathologists to disseminate, meet, greet and frame a network of pathologists for suitable disease management strategies.
