• Invitation/General introduction
In
2004, the first Brazilian Workshop of Plant Diseases Epidemiology was
held in Viçosa/MG, under the coordination of Universidade Federal de
Viçosa (UFV). In 2007, the second edition was organized by Escola
Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ/USP) in Campos do Jordão/SP. The third edition was held in Bento Gonçalves/RS and was hosted by Embrapa Uva e Vinho. This time, Curitiba/PR was chosen
for hosting the IV Brazilian Workshop of Plant Diseases from December
2nd-4th by Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) organization.
These three days of
intensive work aim to assemble researchers, professors and professionals
in the field of Plant Disease Epidemiology from Brazil up to other
countries for discussing new methods and technologies in health of
agricultural crops, new
strategies for integrated management of plant diseases, as well as the pursuit of
shared solutions for the control and prevention of epidemics.
This fourth edition has the support of several state and federal
institutions across Brazil. The scientific programme covers aspects from classical epidemiology
of integrated disease management including statistical
methodologies for understanding epidemics and defining management strategies. Both
invited speakers and participants (professors,
graduate students and professionals) who work directly with plant disease epidemiology, will
have this event as an opportunity to share their knowledge in order to present problems and propose solutions
of important pathosystems for Brazilian agribusiness.
