Meet Us at the MDPI International Day of Plant Health 2023 Webinar, 12 May 2023

In order to commemorate the International Day of Plant Health 2023, MDPI is launching a special webinar to encourage researchers to join together, take action, and raise awareness as to how the exchange of findings facilitates efforts to raise awareness about plant health and diseases.

The webinar aims to encourage connection and collaboration among autism researchers and the international open access community to help protect plant health.
