May 28 - May 30, 2013
Potato Psyllid ID Workshops
Three psyllid/Zebra chip/insect identification workshops will be held in southern Idaho in late May. The workshops will have an open format, and people are invited to come any time that fits their schedule during each session. This will allow more personal attention and access to specimens and samples as people come and go. This open format also allows us to serve more people per session, answer individual questions in one-on-one conversations, etc. If you have your own traps from the field, and would like help evaluating them as part of the workshop, please bring them.
The dates and locations are:
May 28, 1–3 p.m., Parma Research and Extension Center, 29603 U of I Lane, Parma
May 29, 10–noon, Miller Research LLC, 426 East 200 North, Rupert
May 30, 10–noon, Idaho Falls R & E Center, 1776 Science Center Dr.
