PLANT PATHOLOGY 2006 INDEX This issue concludes the 2006 series of Kentucky Pest News (KPN) and marks the end of the 31st year of inclusion of disease information in KPN. The major objective has been to provide timely information on anticipated and occurring diseases in Kentucky. Any comments (favorable or critical) readers may have regarding KPN (i.e., format, subject matter, coverage, timeliness, etc.) may be directed to KPN authors: John Hartman, Don Hershman, Paul Vincelli, and Kenneth Seebold, Extension Plant Pathologists; Paul Bachi and Julie Beale, Plant Diagnosticians; and Patricia de Sá, Research Specialist. The above authors appreciate the efforts of colleagues who have co-authored topics in KPN; and Pat Yancey for assembling and transmitting KPN.
The final issue of KPN 2006, like final issues of previous years, contains an index of all plant disease topics covered during the current year. The index is alphabetized according to each crop or other subject matter. After each crop, each disease that was discussed the past year is listed with the appropriate issue number(s). KPN issue numbers in parenthesis ( ) refers to a listing of the crop or disease in the "Diagnostic Lab Highlights" section. We wish each of our readers a Cheerful Holiday and Peace and Prosperity in 2007. (Hartman, Hershman, Vincelli, Seebold, Bachi, Beale, de Sá and Yancey).
