[Pollinator] Call for Papers: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON EMERGING TRENDS INTEGRATED PEST AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT FOR QUALITY FOOD PRODUCTION 2017, Malaysia

[Sivaram V]

Dear Colleagues


We take this opportunity and great pleasure to announce the *INTERNATIONAL
CONFERENCE ON EMERGING TRENDS INTEGRATED PEST AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT FOR
QUALITY FOOD PRODUCTION* scheduled to be held from *July 25-27, 2017* at *The
Waterfront Hotel, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia*. The integrated pest
management (IPM) has an important role in sustainable agriculture and
quality food production by providing maximum economic yields to the farmer,
while improving or maintaining the production site and protecting the
environment. The procedures to improve economic yields while reducing
inputs include: the integration of pesticides with cultural techniques for
disease control; and biological, behavioral, and environmental controls of
pests such as weeds. Especially biological and biotechnological control
methods have a vital importance as the alternatives to chemical control in
integrated pest management. Biotechnology promises to have a major impact
on IPM through the use of recombinant DNA techniques to genetically
engineer microbes for the control of diseases, insects, and weeds, and to
generate plants that resist insects, pathogens, and herbicides.



The international conference on emerging trends integrated pest and disease
management for quality food production is being organized by *V Sivaram
Research Foundation* in partnership with *Universiti Teknologi MARA,
Sarawak* and supported by *Government of Sarawak* and also *many national
and international organizations.* The organizers are pleased to invite
scientists, students, farmers, as well as representatives from government,
non-government organizations and industry to share their research expertise
for sustainable agriculture to eradicate hunger around the globe. The IPM
Conference will provide the platform to enhance knowledge with latest
trends through keynote speeches, thematic scientific papers and poster
presentations. We hope to have an extensive technical program covering
various themes around IPM technologies and invite eminent speakers to
stimulate our agenda on all aspects of Pest management for quality food
production.



On behalf of the organizing committee, we warmly invite you to Kuching,
