Register for the Workshop on Comparing the Environmental Effects of Pest Management Practices Across Cropping Systems

Don’t miss the upcoming workshop on the environmental impacts of pest management practices!

The major goals of the meeting are to examine trade-offs in pest management approaches for weeds, insects, and diseases and compare environmental effects between different cropping systems, including GE and non-GE systems.

A panel of experts will present on a variety of topics, including: growth of organic, traditional, and genetically engineered (GE) crops; integrated pest management (IPM) practices; cover cropping; weed management and herbicide-resistant weeds; insect ecology in agro-ecosystems; and disease-resistant GE crops. The workshop is related to a separate, ongoing study being conducted by the National Research Council summarizing GE crops.

The workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 4, from 8:15 am-5:15 pm Eastern at the National Academy of Sciences Keck Center (500 5th St. NW Washington, DC 20001). The public is invited to attend the meeting or to view the live webcast. Register early to attend in person as space is limited.

The workshop is funded by USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) through the Biotechnology Risk Assessment Grants (BRAG) Program.
