Subject: CP diseases (continued)

I tried to pst the message below, but for some reason, it did not appear.
This is my second attempt:

This is just an idea. I am not sure I am even qualified to suggest this
since I am not a memeber of ICPS at this point (I have an intention to be so
soon). Some plant societies support scientific studies. For example,
American Orchid Society (AOS) has a research grant. They have a nice hand
book on orchid diseases and pests along with a video on this subject.
Moreover, I was a recepient for a AHS (American Hemerocallis Scoiety)
fellowship for a study on daylily diseases.

I guess this kind of study directly benefit CP growers other than some
obscure molecular study (I am not opposed to this, though) which do not
necessarily give anything back to a society. Considering the amount of
annual due (AOS charges $40/year now), ICPS might not have much money (this
is not a criticism), but this would be certainly they can investigate by
cooperating with a univeristy diagnostic lab. If we are still talking about
diseases and insects the way we do now ("Oh, somebody told me this is
this"), the confusion will continue. Even starting to make a data base on
pests along with pesticides that can be used would be great. I am aware that
information on pesticides quickly changes, though.
