Three (3) technical staff from the Crop Pest Management Division of the Bureau of Plant Industry, attended and participated in the recently conducted โ56th PMCP Anniversary and Annual Scientific Conferenceโ held at La Carmela de Boracay on June 25 to 28, 2024.
With the theme, โCultivating Resilience: Harnessing Innovative Technologies for Sustainable Pest Management in a Changing Climateโ, esteemed resource speakers, scientists, and researchers were invited and contributed to the great success of the said activity. Thematic sessions, poster presentations, societal business meetings, and societal fellowships were the components of the said conference.
In relation to the theme of the conference towards sustainable agriculture, BPI-CPMD actively presented the results of their respective researches in the area of pest management for both oral and poster presentation.
