Coffee-related Research and Management Update Webinars with LIVE Q&A
Tuesday from January 30 through April 2024!
Beginning at 12:00 pm on the Tuesdays listed, one or two pre-recorded PowerPoint presentation will be played on Zoom and a live online Q&A with the presenter(s) will follow. Each presentation will run about 15-25 mins.
We will have speakers from BASF, USDA ARS PBARC, HARC, Washington State Univ., Smith Farms, SHAC, Univ. of Puerto Rico, UH-Hilo and UH-CTAHR share information and updates about coffee pest management, coffee leaf rust research projects, field trials, and disease management.

Each speaker's pre-recorded presentation will be uploaded to the Kona Extension's YouTube "Coffee Leaf Rust" playlist following the presentation and Q&A, and will be available to those not able to attend and for anyone needing a refresher. |
