![](http://infoandina.org/infoandina/sites/default/files/styles/w600/public/default_images/160x220_0.png?itok=gRAzSFEv)
Gracias a la iniciativa conjunta del Centro Internacional de la Papa (CIP), de la Iniciativa Global sobre el Tizón Tardío (GILB) y la Academia China de Agricultura y Ciencia (CAAS), tendrá lugar en Beijin, China, la Tercera Conferencia Internacional sobre Tizón Tardío, del 3 al 6 de abril del 2008.
El Tizón Tardío continúa siendo una de las plagas más destructivas en papas, tomates y cultivos Solanum. Gracias a la capacidad de convocatoria que tiene las instituciones organizadoras, se ha reunido a un selecto grupo de especialistas de todo el mundo para poder discutir acerca de los últimos avances en estudio de plagas, manejo de enfermedades, biología patógena y dinámica, cultivos resistentes, biología molecular en la interacción entre portador - agente patógeno y, por último, control químico.
El alto nivel académico de los investigadores convocados hace de esta, una oportunidad ideal para poder proponer mejoras e innovaciones para este problema que afecta a un gran sector de agricultores. Otro objetivo de la conferencia es la oportunidad de generar un espacio adecuado para la colaboración internacional. En la conferencia previa, en Hamburg, Alemania en el año 2002, se contó con la participación de más de 180 investigadores de 42 diferentes países.
El idioma oficial de la conferencia será el Inglés.
En el detalle de la infonota podrá encontrar información sobre el programa de la conferencia, actividades, y el comité académico (en Inglés).
Tentative program
The General theme of the Third International Late Blight Conference is: International Collaboration on Late Blight Research.
The conference will last 3 days with a two-day workshop before the meeting and a 3-day field visit after the meeting. Both the workshop and the field visit are optional. Costs and details are forthcoming.
Within the meeting, sessions will deal with six major topics, but special interest groups may also hold satellite meetings by arrangement with the organizers. The specific program will be developed as scientific contributions are received.
