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 […]

The 5th Symposium of Potato Cyst Nematode Management will cover many aspects, including international distribution, genetic diversity, sampling and decision making, population dynamics, diagnostics, integrated management, biology and application of resistance, use of effectors, rotational control, chemical control, biological control and novel control methods such as RNAi and biofumigation.

Sprayer cleaning ( internal and external) is considered one of the most important element of the potential pesticide point source contamination and it is really necessary to find and disseminate way able to avoid or mitigate this risk. Several and different are the present mitigation solution proposed by researchers, regulatory body, sprayers manufactures and specific […]

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 […]

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 […]

This conference is open to all researchers studying plant viruses and virus-induced diseases at any level, from molecular to ecological scale, including evolutionary aspects of plant viruses and virus-induced diseases. Sessions will include: - Molecular plant-virus interactions - Plant virus ecology and epidemiology - Resistance and control of plant virus-induced diseases - Biotechnological applications of […]

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 […]

This conference has invited contributions from all areas of nematology (biology, ecology, epidemiology, management of plant parasitic nematodes, entomopathogenic nematodes and diagnostic methods). It actively invites students to participate, both in the platform presentations and the poster session. A prize is given for the best student platform presentation – Bryan Kerry Prize.

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 […]
