Biocontrol and IPM in Uncertain Climatic and Economic Environments

The 2024 AAB Biocontrol and IPM meeting will focus on the potential of IPM technologies to mitigate climate challenges and will explore whether these technologies are economically viable.

This meeting has a strong reputation as providing excellent opportunities for early career professionals to present their work. We will maintain this focus whilst inviting contributions from those across academia, IPM industry, government regulators and agronomists/ farmers who actually have the responsibility to maintain agricultural and horticultural productivity.
