Pre-Conference Workshops - Monday 20 November
Workshop 1: Breaking Ground in Australian Nematology |
| Monday 20 November 2023 Location: Student Teaching Wing laboratory, Charles Hawker Building, University of Adelaide, Waite Campus, Waite Road, Urrbrae Bus: Departs National Wine Centre at 8.15am; Return collection from Waite Campus at 5.15pm |
| 9:00am - 5:00pm | Presenters: Dr Mike
Hodda - CSIRO, Canberra ACT; Dr Katherine
Linsell - SARDI, Urrbrae SA; Dr Sarah
Collins - DPIRD, Perth WA; Dr Rebecca Zwart - University of Southern QLD, Toowoomba QLD; Plus Guest Presenters Summary A workshop on what’s breaking in nematology. We have new species to discuss (in the turf world) known species that are not what we thought (like cereal cyst nematode), new species that we definitely didn’t want (Root knot nematode findings in our north) and new information on species that cause huge economic losses annually in Australian agriculture. We also have techniques for nematode extraction, inoculum in glasshouse trials and in the molecular world. Hear from those closest to these changes, discuss what they might mean, and have a look at the nematodes in question. Then finish by engaging with a panel of nematologists on where nematology is going and should concentrate in the years ahead. With panellists ranging from the recently converted to very experienced, and questions from the floor, we hope this will be a lively session to end the day! |

United Kingdom; Plus Guest Presentations/Demonstrations from Dr Walt Mahaffee, Dr Ismail Ismail, Dr Mohsen Khani, Dr Andrew Baker, Lewis Collins, and Dr Michelle Demers Allocation Exhausted Summary This workshop will demonstrate and discuss common and innovative spore trapping systems for the surveillance of airborne plant pathogens related to plant health. It will be held at SARDI’s Plant Health Surveillance laboratory in the Plant Research Centre located at the Waite Research Institute. Researchers with interests in spore trapping, digital & mechatronic technologies, diagnostic techniques and data visualisation to end-users are encouraged to attend. The agenda will comprise of presentations, hands-on demonstrations and discussion sessions with the aim to facilitate a collaborative and interactive forum to overview emerging technologies and platforms, advantages and disadvantages, and present opportunities these offer aerobiological research and the surveillance of airborne plant pathogens. This includes drawing on the expertise of Professor Jon West (Rothamsted Research), who is internationally recognised in his research on aerobiology, and will co-chair this workshop |
Post-Conference Workshop - Friday 24 November
Workshop 5: Xylella |

Pre-Conference Developing Countries Workshop - Friday 17 November
Developing Countries Workshop |
| Friday 17 November 2023 Attendance by invitation only |
| 2:00pm - 5:40pm | On behalf of the Australasian Plant Pathology Society, the Crawford Fund and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), we are pleased to welcome our colleagues from developing countries in the Australasian region (namely South-East Asia and the Pacific) to the 2023 Australasian Plant Pathology Society Developing Countries Pre-Conference Workshop. The workshop sessions will cover a wide range of topics including biosecurity, diagnostics and emerging diseases in developing countries and include results from projects funded by sponsors. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a professional development opportunity to early career plant pathologists from Developing Countries. Presenters at the workshop have also been awarded a bursary which provides online registration to the APPS 2023 Conference as well as APPS membership. Bursary recipients are mentored by plant pathologists who are members of the Society and participate in pre-workshop communication sessions. Their abstracts and videos will be available on the post-conference on-demand platform. Download Program Here |
