The IOBC-Global Study Group "Classical Weed Biological Control" is an extension of the venerable International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds (ISBCW).
Provide a forum to connect weed biocontrol scientists between the quadrennial ISBCW, facilitate contributions to global discussions on regulations and help to promote weed biocontrol, e.g., by supporting early career scientists, developing country collaborations and providing a mechanism to advocate for its appropriate and sustained use as a vital weed management tool.
Participants of the International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds 2018 in Engelberg, Switzerland, were keen to explore the option of becoming a Global Study/Working Group of IOBC.
