Abstract

Four major and formative events have shaped the profession of plant pathology in Israel: (i) The establishment, in 1921, of the first Department of Plant Pathology, at the Agricultural Experiment Station. (ii) The establishment, in 1942, of the Faculty of Agriculture, at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. (iii) The first congress of plant pathology in Israel in 1967, followed by 29 more meetings in the coming 42 years. (iv) The foundation of the Israeli Phytopathological Society in 1970. The various studies carried out during these nine decades have covered all major developments and issues in plant pathology.
