The 6th Pests and Beneficials Review will take place virtually on Wednesday 27 January 2020.
Theme – Delivering IPM – Overcoming the Regulatory and Economic Barriers to Progress
The Regulatory and Commercial obstacles to IPM implementation can be as difficult to overcome as those related to the design of effective, practical IPM programmes. Given the requirement to adopt IPM widely as part of the UK’s developing agricultural strategy, this Review seeks to understand these obstacles better, and to identify who and what is involved in overcoming them.
This is an invitee only event.
