The Western Committee on Plant Diseases (WCPD), previously known as Western Committee on Plant Disease Control (WCPDC), was organized as one of the four committees under the auspices of Western Forum, in 1976. It functions as an advisory body to provincial government advisory committees of the four western provinces and to other agencies concerned with plant disease control within the region. Its objective is to promote the development and adoption of sound control measures for plant diseases of regional concern in the four western provinces.
The WCPD publishes the Guidelines for the Control of Plant Diseases in Western Canada. The guidelines are reviewed and updated annually as part of the Western Forum on Pest Management
