3rd Edition of Agriculture, Forestry, and Horticulture World Conference 2027
Scientific Sessions - AFHWC 2027
Sustainable Crop Protection IPM and Plant Disease Management
Crop protection is the science of managing the insects, mites, weeds, nematodes and pathogens (fungi, bacteria and viruses) that reduce crop yield and quality. Integrated pest management (IPM) is an ecological approach that combines several methods rather than relying on chemical pesticides alone. These include resistant varieties, crop rotation, field sanitation, biological control using natural enemies or microbial agents, pheromone traps, regular field monitoring and, only when needed, carefully targeted pesticide use. Plant disease management also draws on the plant's own immune system, for example through systemic acquired resistance (SAR), which can be activated to protect crops. Invasive and transboundary pests that spread across countries add new urgency to this field.
What You Will Learn
- Current strategies for integrated pest and disease management
- How induced resistance and biocontrol agents can reduce chemical use
- Early detection and diagnostic tools for pests and pathogens
- Approaches to managing transboundary and invasive crop threats
