2008 is a year of transition for the UW Vegetable Pathology program with Walt Stevenson's retirement 03 Jan.  A search is in progress to find a new person to fill this position.  To provide continuity, I will be doing a few trials this coming summer.

We are planning our field trials for summer 2008 !
  • To learn more about plans for each trial and the kind of evaluation done, click on the link for the trial (as they are added)
  • To learn about data from similar trials in past years, look at the field trial reports from 2007 and earlier that can be downloaded
  • If you are interested in more information, having materials evaluated in any of these trials, or discussing a different potential trial, please contact us
  • If a trial appears to be full there may still be room - sometimes spaces are tentatively reserved and in order to get a wider range of source material we may be able to make some changes to include new materials
