Dear Readers,<br />

Seasons and Tastes was created to provide<br />

you with information and tools to help you in<br />

your daily work. That’s why we’re constantly<br />

thinking about how to make it interesting<br />

and useful to you.<br />

In my brief experience in the world of agriculture,<br />

I have noticed its dynamic nature, which<br />

requires constantly keeping a finger on the<br />

pulse: being alert to changes in weather and<br />

their impact on crops, learning how to deal<br />

with various viruses and diseases before it’s<br />

too late, and staying up to date on innovations<br />

and news. After all, natural and environmental<br />

hazards will always be with us; the trick is<br />

to learn the best way to contend with them.<br />

In this issue, we focus on solutions to<br />

challenges that you encounter on a routine<br />

basis. For example, you’ll find an article on<br />

the Clavibacter Michiganensis Bacterium and<br />

ways of reducing or prevent the damage, along<br />

with a story about TYLCV and the resistant<br />

Parvati variety of tomatoes. In addition, you<br />

will find an article on advanced seed potential<br />

processes and a comparison of tomatoes and<br />

peppers with respect to storage and maturation.<br />

I hope you enjoy this issue. As usual, I’d be<br />

happy to hear your opinions and comments so<br />

that we can continue providing material that<br />

is interesting, important, and useful to you.<br />

Yours,<br />
