SUMMARY:International Advances in Pesticide Application
DESCRIPTION:VISIT EVENT WEBSITE\nOver the last three decades the Association Of Applied Biologists\, Pesticide Application Group has provided a forum for researchers and practitioners from around the world to present and discuss progress with the development of pesticide application technology. During this time great advances have been made to improve the efficacy and safety of pesticides\, resulting in lower doses of pesticides in the field\, leading to lower residue levels in produce and the environment. Scientific and engineering advances can be exploited more readily with regular contact between the many research groups\, and commercial organisations working with crop protection techniques. \nOnce again it is anticipated there will be a wide range of international papers presented at the 2022 conference emphasizing the excellent research being done across the diverse disciplines to improve application techniques and pesticide safety. All papers will be published in The Aspects of Applied Biology\, which acts as a good reference source for up to date techniques for researchers around the globe. \nDownload Meeting Program (PDF)\nRegistration and Travel Information

SUMMARY:Shaping the Future for Pollinators - Innovations in Farmed Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:VISIT EVENT WEBSITE\nThe Association of Applied Biologists has teamed up with the British Ecological Society and Royal Entomological Society to deliver a 3-day conference “Shaping the Future for Pollinators: Innovations in Farmed Landscapes”. Pollinators play a vital role in maintaining both semi-natural and agricultural ecosystems and healthy populations bolster food security\, livelihoods and social wellbeing. With evidence that many species of pollinators are in decline\, their conservation and management is of great public\, economic and political interest. As a result\, the ecology and conservation of managed and wild pollinators is a rapidly growing field of research\, alongside the study of their associated ecosystem services. \nThis conference aims to determine how we can shape farmed landscapes to make them resilient to future challenges such as climate change. Delegates will explore the impact of agricultural practices at the farm and landscape scale on pollinator behaviour\, ecology and the delivery of ecosystem services. Talks and discussions not only to share current best practices on the sustainable management of pollination services\, but explore how novel innovations can create new opportunities and address future risks. This conference aims to bring together researchers\, practitioners and policymakers to debate recent advancements in the field of pollinator research; and also to go beyond ecological research to explore emerging technologies within the field. \nThe host hotel is in Slough/Windsor which is just 15 minutes by train from London Paddington. \n\nThe majority of the meeting schedule will be comprised of talks provided by people who submitted abstracts. \nThe event includes these sessions: \nSession 1 : Landscape-scale management of pollination dynamics \nSession 2: Pollinator habitat management/provision \nSession 3: Managing crop pollination \nSession 4: Pollinator Nutrition \nSession 5: Assessing pollinator risks \nSession 6: Innovation strategies in pollination biology \nSession 7: Monitoring and Modelling Pollination \nDOWNLOAD EVENT SCHEDULE (PDF)\n\nRegistration is now open for both in-person and online delegates. \nIn-person delegates will have access to all oral sessions\, poster session\, meeting catering\, conference dinner\, travel and access to Kew Gardens. \nOnline delegates will have access to all scientific sessions based at the host hotel and can ask questions via text that is monitoring by AAB staff. Online poster presenters will be invited to provide a short video introducing their research. All posters will be included within a digital poster book. \nThe host hotel has preferential rates available for meeting participants. \nAAB/BES/RES members receive a registration discount.

SUMMARY:Closed Transfer Systems Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Filling of the of the Agricultural Sprayer with crop protection products can be a complex\, time consuming task which impacts the operator’s ability to apply product in a timely manner. \nIt also is the area of maximum exposure for the operator to the product and carries the highest risk of point source contamination. With increases in changeable weather effecting application timing\, regulatory pressures and a need to protect operators Closed Transfer Systems have become very relevant as a risk mitigation technology. \nThis workshop aims to exchange experiences from different stakeholders in order to provide improvements on the topic of Closed Transfer Systems through the demonstration and dissemination of solutions which are able to improve filling efficiencies whilst minimising or avoiding operator and environmental contamination risk.  \nVISIT WORKSHOP WEBSITE\nDOWNLOAD MEETING SCHEDULE\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:AAB-PlantEd Training School: Communicating the Science of Gene-Edited Crops
DESCRIPTION:Gene editing is a game-changing technology that has the potential to transform agricultural productivity. Use of this technology provides opportunities to mitigate the damaging effects of climate change and to better protect food security. However the use of this technology is not without controversy given its close alignment with related but different genetic modification (GM). Across the globe the commerical use of GM technologies is extremely limited and as such it is important that GE crops are regulated in a more permissive manner.  \nTherefore communicating the science of gene-editing technology is vitally important in order to ensure that the public fully understand the technology and can therefore make informed decisions about its use. \nThis focused workshop is a collaboration between the Association of Applied Biologists  and the COST Action ‘PlantEd’\, which has a pan-European membership of over 430 researchers and policy-makers. https://plantgenomeediting.eu/  \nWorkshop attendance is limited to 50 early career professionals who will be invited to register after a simple application process. \nVISIT EVENT WEBSITE

SUMMARY:HortStresses 2022
DESCRIPTION:VISIT EVENT WEBSITE\nUnderstanding and managing biotic and abiotic stresses of horticultural crops\nHorticultural crops are facing unprecedented challenges in the face of global warming and climate change. As weather becomes more extreme and unpredictable in future decades\, growers will need access to crops capable of withstanding periods of severe environmental and biological stress. The understanding of plant abiotic and biotic responses on the molecular and genetic level is of paramount importance for developing climate tolerant crops of the future. This encompasses the elucidation of molecular networks associated with stress sensing\, signalling and resistance. Through exploration of genetic diversity and utilisation of new genome editing techniques\, new avenues for the development of climate and pest tolerant crops can be explored. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConfirmed invited speakers include- \n\nKatherine Denby (University of York)\nCharlotte Nellist (NIAB)\nCarol Wagstaff (University of Reading)\nAndrew Daymond (University of Reading)\nHelen Cockerton (University of Kent)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe have now finalised the schedule for this exciting event.\nDownload Schedule here (PDF)\n\nREGISTRATION is open until 11th March for in-person delegates and 22nd March for online-delegates.\nRegister here\n\nFees\n\nIn-person registration from £125-£250\nOnline registration from £25-£100

SUMMARY:Trees for the Future Diversity and complexity for resilience and carbon storage
DESCRIPTION:Visit hybrid event website\nNovember 3-4 2021 \nAs  a key part of actions to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050\, the  UK Government set a target of up to 19% woodland cover. Key decisions  therefore are required concerning how and where we expand tree cover.  Modern forestry is generally based on monocultures largely because of  timber production. However\, future forests will play a key role in  climate change mitigation. It is therefore crucial that appropriate  informed decisions are made with regard to the structure\, composition  and planning of future forests\, in order to provide sustainable  solutions that are of benefit to society. Mixed forests with their  higher biodiversity\, are likely to be better than monocultures in  regulating the water cycle and sequestering carbon. \nThis conference is a collaboration between AAB and the Birmingham Institute of Forest Research  (BIFoR) and a main objective is to explore state-of-the-art scientific  evidence showing that higher tree species diversity enables higher  productivity and stability\, with a lower susceptibility to biotic and  abiotic stress\, together with a portfolio of ecosystem services\, as well  as economic and management benefits. Invited speakers will address  these broad issues from the perspective of  science/industry/economics/politics interfaces. \nA  key aim is to produce a policy document that will inform UK government  strategy. In addition\, we will produce other outputs such as a Special  Issue of the Food and Energy Security journal. Submissions for this special issue remains open until March 1st 2022. \nDownload Provisional Program: October 4th \nRegister for the meeting here. \nEnormous thanks to The JABBS Foundation for allowing us to keep registration fees extremely low for such a high profile event! \nFees\nIn-person event: £75-175 \nOne-site: On site registration includes day catering\, wine reception and conference dinner held on  November 3rd in the Great Hall at the University of Birmingham. This will include the live presentation of the ‘All England Woodland  Resilience Award. Register as an in-person delegate by September 3rd 2021. \nVirtual event: £5-£85 \nThis hybrid event provides opportunities for virtual delegates to register for the meeting. This will include access to all plenary sessions (filmed by the professional UoB event staff) and the opportunity to participant in session Q+A. This will not provide access to the poster session. Register as a online delegate by October 29th 2021.

SUMMARY:Crop production with reduced pesticide and fertiliser inputs to reduce carbon footprints
DESCRIPTION:Please visit event website.\nOctober 13th-14th 9am-1.30pm\n \nVirtual Meeting on Zoom. \nDue to changes in legislation the UK food production industry faces serious threats to its productivity and crop safety through the loss of key plant protection products. Moreover growers need to produce same yields from lower inputs to reduce carbon footprints to contribute to the UK commitments to cut emissions by 78% by 2035. \nIn this event we will explore the challenges and opportunities resulting from this set of circumstance. We will focus on maximising the efficacy of existing and newly introduced pesticides\, bio-stimulants and crop nutrition products; the use of alternative products to directly or indirectly replace those that are lost and to look at alternative previously overlooked  techniques. \nThanks to CF Fertilisers for providing support for this event. \nRegister for this event here.\nRegistration fees: \nAAB Members: £10- £15\nNon-Members: £15 – £20\nDOWNLOAD PROVISIONAL PROGRAM

SUMMARY:Advances in Legume Science and Practice 2
DESCRIPTION:Visit Meeting Website \nThis is the second Legumes conference organised by the AAB ‘Cropping And The Environment (CATE)’ specialist group. We will bring together delegates from a broad spectrum of disciplines to explore the role of legumes in sustainable agriculture\, with an emphasis on ecosystem service. Importantly the event will have an international flavour as it features sessions on ‘Legumes in Africa’ and ‘Legumes Translated’. \nLegumes have the potential to play a substantial role in sustainable agriculture\, as a resource for pollinators and birds\, in intercropping regimes\, providing break crops in rotations\, enhancing soil nitrogen levels\, accessing soil phosphorous and promoting soil biodiversity. The overall GHG emissions associated with legume foods are low whilst products are highly nutritious and many raw legumes products can be readily stored for long periods without spoilage. As such their role in sustainable food production and security is growing. \nThis event was originally planned to take place in Angers\, France but for obvious reasons will now take place virtually on the Zoom platform between September 1-3 2021. AAB are committed to organising an inclusive event that provides focused oral presentations and promotion of virtual posters. \nDownload the Provisional Program \nRegistration for this event is now open. \nMeeting Fees: \nAAB Members: £20. AAB Early Career Professional Members: £10 \nNon-Members: £85. Early Career Professional Non-Members: £30. \n\n\nCurrent AAB non-members will have the option of a complimentary AAB membership until the end of 2022. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThanks to generous support of the ‘Région Pays-de-la-Loire’ we have €600 available to provide fee waivers for participants from Africa. \nIf you would like to take advantage of this fee waiver please contact Geraint Parry by email including a short paragraph detailing your current work or research and why you would like to attend this event. Please include ‘Legumes Fee Waiver‘ in the email subject line. geraint@aab.org.uk

SUMMARY:International Advances in Pesticide Application
DESCRIPTION:Over the last three decades the Pesticide Application Group has provided a forum for researchers from around the world to discuss progress with the development of pesticide application technology. During this time great advances have been made to improve the efficacy and safety of pesticides\, resulting in lower doses of pesticides in the field\, leading to lower residue levels in produce and the environment. Scientific and engineering advances can be exploited more readily with the regular contact between the many research groups working with crop protection and production techniques. \nOnce again it is anticipated there will be a wide range of international papers presented at the 2020 conference emphasizing the excellent research being done across the diverse disciplines to improve application techniques and pesticide safety. International collaboration is easier now than in the early days of the Pesticide Application Group\, for a variety of reasons. The Aspects of Applied Biology acts as a good reference source for up to date techniques for researchers around the globe.

SUMMARY:Advances in Soil-borne Disease Etiology and Control
DESCRIPTION:Soil-borne diseases pose a major constraint to crop production globally and are associated with significant economic losses. Their stealthy pathogens remain hidden in infected soils for years until susceptible host is planted. These diseases and their pathogens are challenging to manage particularly in less diverse rotations and new approaches are needed for crop protection against them. This conference will bring together the best academic and commercial research in the areas of genetic resistance/tolerance\, cultural practices\, appropriate seed treatments and methods for detection and prediction of disease in field soil. Areas of further interest include soil biology and microbe interactions in the plant rhizosphere and the influence of the environment on disease etiology and control.

SUMMARY:IOBC-WPRS Working Group "Integrated Protection of Field Vegetables"
DESCRIPTION:The pests\, pathogens and weeds infesting field vegetables are becoming increasingly difficult to manage due to the reducing availability of conventional pesticides\, particularly for minor crops such as vegetables\, and the very high quality standards set by retailers and consumers. For these and other reasons associated with pesticide use there is considerable interest in Europe and elsewhere in integrated approaches that minimise the use of pesticides without compromising marketable yield.
