First announcement of the 10th
Conference of the European Foundation for Plant Pathology (EFPP):
“IPM2.0
Towards future-proof crop protection in Europe”
The 10th conference will be organized by the Royal
Netherlands Society for Plant Pathology (KNPV) in Wageningen The
Netherlands from 1 – 5 October
2012
The EFPP conference “IPM2.0” will be
the exhilarating event on
plant disease management. The central theme is what research can offer
to practice
towards
compliance
with
the ambitious aims of the National Action Plans
that each member state of the EU has to adopt in the framework the new
EU regulation on Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Hence
we interpret IPM also
as
“International,
Practical and
Measurable”.
The meeting comprises many sessions that target case studies with Best
Practices of IPM on the entire
cropping systems, as well as
disciplinary specific sessions on elements of IPM.
In addition, no-jargon key-notes
will explain recent technologies and how they can be applied in future
IPM approaches.
As such “IPM2.0” is a multidisciplinary conference bringing all
stakeholders to the stage and enabling a broad evaluation of existing
and required technologies and their implementation for disease
management in a broad variety of agronomical settings.
The venue of “IPM2.0” is
Wageningen,
located in the Dutch
Food Valley, bordered by the river Rhine. Wageningen is
the Dutch innovation centre
on Life Sciences, hosting Wageningen University and Research Center.
The program of “IPM2.0” includes a day trip to the
Floriade 2012, the
World Horticultural Expo in Venlo - The Netherlands that provides an
exciting view on state-of-the-art agricultural production.
Please reserve these dates already in your diary.
Before the end of this year
a second
announcement will be released with more details on registration,
accommodations and program.
We are looking forward to meeting you all in Wageningen next year,
Piet Boonekamp (President) and Gert Kema (General Secretary)
