Introductory remarks

Food production is essential for our growing population. Farmers continually balance climate variation, insect pressure, and market volatility to meet consumer demand while maintaining profitability. Greater emphasis on biological solutions within the agricultural market has led to broader use of these tools though acceptance has varied across geographies. Providing growers with new and robust tools to achieve environmental and economic sustainability is propelling new technological advancements in insect control. This symposium will focus on current industry advancements in science and technology for the insecticidal biological market.
