The Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers (OGVG) hosted a tomato brown rugrose fruit virus (ToBRFV) symposium on Aug. 22 in Toronto that brought together top researchers from countries across Europe, North America and Israel to share insights, experiences and learnings about the virus.

Postponed from its original date in 2020, the anticipated event was the first opportunity to meet and discuss ToBRFV, which threatens tomato plants on a global basis. It offered a unique ability to share research, ongoing management, future potential and mitigation opportunities through many ongoing projects.

Discussions are continuing after the event to develop best practices that coordinate biosecurity approaches and responsibilities throughout the supply chain.
