As a reminder, we have newsletters and several fact sheet items available at the UW Vegetable Pathology website in Spanish thanks to UW-Plant Pathology graduate student Amilcar Sanchez Perez. Spanish versions are hyperlinked and available at newsletter and late blight tabs. Also, a good time to offer many thanks to Vaughan James for continual support of our disease forecasting and website efforts, and Ken Frost for 2013 novel forecast contributions.
