Essential plant health for agro-ecological transition

Information

This conference will present the challenge of knowing and understanding how pathogens responsible for diseases on plants operate, how to evaluate the resistance of varieties. The problem of emerging diseases such as ToBRFV will be at the heart of the discussions.o

10:30-10:35 am Welcome introduction and moderation
