Announcement
We are pleased to announce the 2023 PPCDL-Advanced Diagnostic Workshops hosted by the Scientists of the Plant Pathogen Confirmatory Diagnostic Laboratory (PPCDL) in Laurel, Maryland.
After a 2-year pause, we have planned for the return of in-person workshops. The planning team has developed a schedule that offers a wide variety of topics and delivery methods…nine topics in all…and both in-person and virtual workshops.
We need your input to create a tentative plan for the 2023 Beltsville Workshops.
Please complete the following survey and indicate if you are interested in attending one or more of the subject matter workshops listed.
