Pest Management Strategic Plan For Sugarcane Technologists

You are invited to participate in the upcoming Workshop for the Pest Management Strategic Plan for Sugarcane in the American Society of Sugar Cane Technologists (ASSCT) – Louisiana Division Meeting to be held February 4th-5th in Baton Rouge, La. 

The Pest Management Strategic Plan (PMSP) for Sugarcane in the Southern Region outlines priorities for research, regulation, and outreach to guide activities such as EPA registration of pesticides, government, and other agencies' allocation of funds for research, scientists in their research endeavors, and other activities related to solving pest management issues. Consultants, growers, industry representatives, specialists, regulators, and processors are strongly encouraged to participate in this event to update this important document. This workshop is supported by the Southern IPM Center.
