Challenges of Generating Field-relevant Data for Tomorrow’s Insect-protected Plants

Tuesday, November 12, 2024
2:00 PM – 6:00 PM MST
Location: Phoenix Convention Center, 126 A, PCC

Generating field-relevant data for insect-protected plant interactions is critically important for designing durable, quality biotech products and determining best management practices. This symposium will address the challenges of generating field-relevant data in field and lab environments, assessing susceptible and resistant colonies under these conditions, and regulatory considerations.
