Disease threats are continually evolving, making early detection, informed decision-making, and effective management strategies essential to protecting crop health and yield. This session will explore practical approaches to identifying and managing foliar and soilborne diseases, with a focus on understanding disease risk and responding to emerging pathogen challenges.

Drawing on current research and field-based experience, Morgan Goodnight will discuss strategies for improving disease detection, understanding pathogen biology and epidemiology, and implementing effective disease management practices. Attendees will gain practical insights they can apply to help anticipate disease risks, make informed management decisions, and protect crop performance in an ever-changing production environment.
