University of Aveiro, Portugal

 

5th meeting of the IOBC-WPRS Working Group "Benefits and Risks of Exotic Biological Control Agents" combined with the IOBC-Global Working Group.

This meeting is targeted at scientists and professionals working with Benefits and Risks of Exotic Biological Control Agents, and addresses the following areas:

• Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents in forest production systems
• Benefits and risks of biological control of invasive exotic plants
• Interactions between exotic biological control agents and native species
• Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents of emerging pests and pathogens
• Novel tools to access the benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents
• Synergies between organizations and networks dealing with exotic Biological control agents

International Workshop for Green Pest Control in Solanaceous Crops

ICIPM2023, Nanjing, China.

 

The current global solanaceous crop production is facing an unprecedented threat caused by many pests. The common strategies for the management of these pests relies largely on the intensive use of insecticides. Alternative means are needed to reduce the insecticide overuse and avoid their negative impacts to the environment, food safety, and human health. Here, we call for a global workshop to promote international focus and collaboration on the biological control within an ecological management complex of pests in solanaceous crops. Researchers and students in this area are all welcomed to join this workshop. (The workshop belongs to the Third International Conference of Insect Pest Management)

The workshop has 3 sessions and will be carried out on 22th Oct, 2023:

• Session 1, 9:00-9:50, organizer: Dr. Yulin Gao Establishment of IOBC-BiCoSol.
• 9:50-10:00, Group Photo, Tea break
• Session 2, 10:00-12:00, organizer: Dr. Yulin Gao Seminars by 4 invited speakers. (30 min for each)
• Session 3, 14:00-17:30, organizer: Dr. Wenwu Zhou Seminars by 10 speakers. (20 min for each)

Plant BioProTech & IOBC-IR:
Joint symposium of the Plant Bioprotech and te IOBC-WPRS WG "Induced Resistance in Plants Against Insects and Diseases" (IOBC-IR)

Castellon de la Plana, Spain

 

The plant BioProTech and the IOBC-WPRS Working Group "Induced Resistance in Plants Against Insects and Diseases" (IOBC-IR) are joining forces to build an exceptional symposium next June 17-20th, 2024 in Castellon de la Plana, Spain.

The joint symposium will gather expert from both scientific and industry sector to exchange and build collaboration in the sector of agriculture and in particular, in the development, formulation and distribution of bioproducts (e.g.: elicitors, biocontrol agents, biostimulants). The new edition of the events represents an ideal moment, for researchers and industrials, to meet, discuss and share their latest results, developments and innovations and build tomorrow's partnerships.

Topics particularly targeted:

• Plant response to biotic or abiotic stresses
• Beneficial microorganisms & plant growth promotion
• Elicitors & plant innate immunity
• Microbial sensing & induced resistance
• Biocontrol & climate change
• Synthetic biology

Third International Congress of Biological Control (ICBC3)

San José, Costa Rica

The 2024 congress, co-organized by CABI and IOBC-Global, builds on the 1st International Congress of Biological Control (Beijing, 2018), the 1st International Conference of Biological Control (Bengaluru, 2018) and the 2nd International Congress of Biological Control (Davos, 2021).
ICBC3 will provide a platform for multi and inter-disciplinary biological control research and application. This congress will be co-organized locally by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock of Costa Rica which promotes the use of biological control approaches as a sustainable method for the management of key indigenous and introduced pests.

This congress is unique in serving as a meeting point for scientists and practitioners who are working on a wide breadth of biological control targets including insect pests, plant and animal diseases, weeds and invasive vertebrates whether they use importation, augmentation or conservation as approaches and whether they are interested in basic science related to biological control or in improving applications.

Call for Sessions
Please submit your scientific session subject / panel discussion topic online by 18th Sept. 2023!

27th International Congress of Entomology (ICE2024)

Kyoto, Japan

 

Since the first conference was held in Brussels, Belgium in 1910, it has been held almost every four years, except during the turmoil of World War II. The first congress to be held in Asia, was the 16th ICE in Kyoto, Japan in 1980. It has been decided that the 27th Congress in 2024 will be held at the Kyoto International Conference Center, sponsored by the Japan Insect Science Association.
