Eighth International Conference on Management of the Diamondback Moth and Other Crucifer Insect Pests
The Eighth International Conference on Management of the Diamondback Moth and Other Crucifer Insect Pests will be organized by the World Vegetable Center in association with Cornell University (USA). The workshop will be held March 4-8, 2019 at Shanhua, Tainan, Taiwan. About 100 – 150 researchers worldwide are expected to participate and present research papers. The conference is designed to provide a common forum for the researchers to share their findings in bio-ecology of insect pests, host plant resistance, biological control, pesticides and insect resistant management on crucifer crops. As with previous workshops, a comprehensive publication of the proceedings will be published.
