The purpose of the BCPC Diseases Working Group is to provide a forum for discussion on plant health issues, relevant new legislation, new developments and research. The group organises an annual review for an invited audience, the first review was held in December 2014. It also acts as a lobby to influence potential funding for crop protection and to provide expert opinion to inform policy makers.
The 5th Annual BCPC Diseases Review took place at the NIAB Conference Centre, (Sophi Taylor Building) Histon, Cambridge on Thursday 10 October 2019. Details of the programme and speaker presentations from the event can be found here
