SUMMARY:Thinking Differently about Soil-borne Disease Management
DESCRIPTION:Visit website for this Virtual event\nWith increasing awareness of the importance of ‘soil health’ and pressure to reduce pesticide inputs and use alternatives\, this conference aims to bring together a unique group with expertise in a range of disciplines to present and discuss ways to manage soil-borne diseases ‘outside of the current toolbox’. \nThe aim will be to consider how we should use novel and existing strategies both now and in the future. This would include all crops grown for food and fuel. Research and views around the impacts of rotations\, chemistry\, soil-health\, biological control\, the impact of microbiomes\, suppressive soils\, disease detection and associated technology and modelling would be welcomed. \nThe sharing of research findings that have potential to work cross sector and be included in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies e.g. from horticulture to arable crops are encouraged. \nRegistration Fees for this online event:\n \nAAB members: £10-£15 \nAAB non-members: £30-£80. All non-members willl receive AAB membership until the end of 2022 \nRegistration deadline: November 5th (credit-card payments only after October 27th) \nDownload Meeting Program.

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.

SUMMARY:Adding Value to Field Crop Genetic Resources
DESCRIPTION:For decades the world’s genebanks have conserved genetic diversity and supplied stakeholders with the raw materials of basic research and breeding. Recent development of next generation gene discovery tools together with associated phenotypic and genotypic datasets based on genebank foundations have opened completely new opportunities for the interrogation of genebank resources\, for the delivery of new and useful genetic variation to agriculture. This conference will highlight these exciting developments and map out next steps for the genetic resources community.

SUMMARY:Advances in IPM 2018: Making it Work for the Farmer
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, the AAB’s conferences covering advances in biocontrol\, IPM and biopesticides have become firm fixtures on the UK’s calendar of events. The overall objective has been to create an annual gathering of the UK IPM community at which policy makers\, experienced researchers\, young scientists and practitioners can detach themselves from their usual day-to-day pressures and become totally immersed in this important subject. \nThis year’s theme is “Making it work for the farmer” and there will be four main sessions:\n• Regulation of crop protection\n• Farmer perspective on crop protection and innovation\n• Biocontrol and other techniques to reduce dependency on pesticides\n• Integrated control of Weeds and Diseases

SUMMARY:Dose Expression Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Dose expression for “3D” crops represents one of the most controversial aspects linked with a proper and optimised use of pesticides. Researchers\, regulatory bodies and private companies have been working in the last years in order to find a reasonable\, logical\, objective and harmonized method to express the amount of pesticide to be applied in crops as vineyard and orchards. This workshop is addressed to go a step forward in this challenge topic\, combining experiences from different stakeholders and providing possible improvements to the subject.

SUMMARY:Soil Improvement: Impact of Management Practices on Soil Function and Quality
DESCRIPTION:Soil functions and agricultural productivity are closely linked. The application of soil improving techniques is crucial to maintain soil functions\, long-term productivity and the broad range ecosystem services provided by soils. These techniques include tillage\, crop diversity\, crop management\, cover crops and the use of organic amendments. The effectiveness of soil management practices will vary with soil type\, farming systems and agro-climatic zones. Management practices should be practical and economically viable to encourage uptake by farmers. Equally\, important is the development of land use policies to secure the wider societal benefits provided by soils.

SUMMARY:Advances in Soil Biology: The Soil Macrobiome
DESCRIPTION:The concept of a “microbiome” is increasingly well-embedded in our scientific understanding\, not just of soil communities\, but also in other areas such as medicine. Driven forward by community-level genetic techniques\, a deeper knowledge of microbial communities is shaping our understanding of how interventions affect the balance of organisms in a system\, and is revealing links between microbial communities and ecosystem function. However\, microbes are not the only inhabitants of soil. Communities of larger organisms – soil meso- and macro-fauna – inhabit the same world\, but interact with it at different scales and timescales. This makes them potentially valuable indicators of a different set of soil conditions and functions than those revealed by microbes. This conference aims to showcase innovative approaches to exploring the soil macrobiome\, revealing what it can tell us about soil conditions and function.
