Crop protection focuses on safeguarding agricultural crops from pests, diseases, weeds, and other biological threats that reduce yield and quality. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) combines biological, cultural, mechanical, and chemical strategies to provide effective, environmentally responsible pest control while reducing dependence on synthetic pesticides.
Advances in biological control agents, pest surveillance technologies, resistant crop varieties, and precision pest management are supporting sustainable agricultural practices and improving crop resilience.
This session will highlight emerging research in crop protection, integrated pest management, biological control, pest monitoring, disease prevention, and innovative technologies that promote sustainable and efficient agricultural production.
