10th North American Strawberry Symposium (NASS) hosted in San Luis Obispo

The 10th North American Strawberry Symposium (NASS), a meeting of strawberry growers, researchers, and other industry members from around the globe, was held in San Luis Obispo, California, USA on March 7-10, 2023. There were 23 presentations delivered by members of our Center team from all three program areas (Entomology, Pathology and Automation). Unfortunately, the planned post-conference tour, which was to encompass strawberry production in the Santa Maria region as well as a tour of the research, training and testing facilities at our Center, needed to be switched to virtual delivery due to heavy rainfall in the region brought on by an atmospheric river storm.
