Objectives/Focus issues of the SMC

ISPP-SMC postharvest pathology committee has been actively involved in organizing an International symposium on a biannual basis since 2013. This symposium has been held in cooperation with ISHS working group on postharvest pathology of postharvest diseases. The main purpose of the symposium is to bring together researchers and industry from around the world to meet and discuss in-depth advances and define problems in the field of postharvest pathology.  

About the SMC

SMC Postharvest Pathology was established back in 2028 during the IPPC held in Turin, Italy and was responsible for organizing postharvest pathology sessions as well symposia on specific subjects in postharvest pathology. During the 2008 IPPC, it was decided to organize a separate symposium dedicated to postharvest pathology every two years. The First symposium of the ISPP-SMC on postharvest pathology was held in 2011 in Lleida, Spain, and then followed by symposia held in Turkey, Italy, South Africa, Belgium, Cyprus and New Zealand. In 2013, ISPP-SMC postharvest pathology joined forces with the ISHS working group on postharvest pathology and decided to organize the biannual symposium.
