Crop Research Conference includes three sessions chaired by leading scientists, offering delegates an early look at the next generation of crop protection methods and the chance to shape future research priorities.

Entitled ‘Knowing your enemy – the future of crop protection’, the conference features some of the latest research on insect pests, weeds and crop diseases.

Two major issues prompted AHDB to host this event; pesticide resistance and product restrictions due to environmental concerns.

The conference has three sessions, each taking a slightly different approach to understanding pests, weeds and diseases. Also, there are twenty-four posters from postgraduate scientists who will be instrumental in delivering top-class crop protection research in the years ahead.

The AHDB Crop Research Conference takes place on 25 September 2013 at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London.
