Welcome to the first issue of North Carolina Pest News for 2003. North Carolina Pest News is a newsletter published in electronic form by the Departments of Plant Pathology and Entomology at North Carolina State University, and contains up-to-date information on the status of disease and insect pests in North Carolina from Extension specialists in the two departments.

I look forward to seeing you there.
