PLANT PROTECTION STORIES – A NEW SECTION ON IAPPS WEBSITE
IAPPS website has been upgraded in the recent times to make it more functional and user friendly. A couple of new sections have recently been included in the new website. One of them, ‘Plant Protection Stories’ has been created with the aim to promote the development of an integrated approach to research on plant protection and to its world-wide education and practical application. This section will contain information to assist Plant Protection practitioners. Materials for this section will be supplied by IAPPS members in the form of reports, videos, and podcasts to illustrate the complexity of contemporary weed, pest and disease problems and the measures taken to manage them. The material contained in this section is original and reflects the views of the submitter but is intended to provide information, encourage debate, and advance the cause of plant protection. Short Stories editors will invite submissions that address issues in integrated plant protection and its promotion, describing successes and failures. However, endorsements of commercial products will not be accepted. The editorial committee is composed ofSrinivasan Ramasamy, Nora Altier, Manuele Tamò, and Trevor Jackson. Currently four stories have been published, which can be accessed at https://www.plantprotection.org/plant-protection-stories/. The editorial committee invites more new plant protection stories from IAPPS members.
