Sugarcane Mosaic Virus: Understanding the New Threat 
Sugarcane Mosaic Virus is not new to Florida, but recent outbreaks have pointed to a new combination virus that has devastated lawns in southeast Florida and may be spreading. This workshop will provide critical information for producers as well as anyone who installs or maintains turfgrass. UF/IFAS Plant Pathologist Dr. Phil Harmon will explain how to identify the virus, what’s been detected in samples analyzed, possible vectors, and where it’s been reported. Bill Schall and Laurie Albrecht with the UF | IFAS Palm Beach County Extension will share case studies from some of most-affected areas.
