To be effective, IPM requires different sectors to work together, especially industry, academia and regulatory authorities.
The Natural Products BioHUB is delighted to be supporting a major international conference New IPM: A Modern and Multidisciplinary approach to Crop Protection. Hosted by Swansea University in partnership with the International BioControl Manufacturers Association UK, the event will bring together experts in Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
IPM is undergoing a rapid change as modern technologies such as electronic sensors, robotic crop inspectors and drones are becoming normalised in crop production both in protected and arable settings.
To be effective, IPM also requires different sectors to work together, especially industry, academia and regulatory authorities. The aim of the conference is to bring together everybody involved in the agribusiness chain, to present and discuss new innovations and how they are being implemented in crop protection.
The Symposium will be followed by a FREE networking event. Organised by Swansea University’s Research and Innovation Services and supported by SCoRE Cymru, it will offer an opportunity for Welsh industry and academia to network with international partners.
The focus will be funding opportunities from UK and EU sources, in particular Horizon Europe Cluster 6 (Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture, and environment) and related calls around plant health, resilient infrastructure and low risk pesticides.
