INTERNATIONAL ADVANCES IN PESTICIDE APPLICATION

Call for Papers

Once again it is anticipated there will be a wide range of international papers presented at the 2020 conference emphasizing the excellent research being done across the diverse disciplines to improve application techniques and pesticide safety. International collaboration is easier now than in the early days of the Pesticide Application Group, for a variety of reasons.

The Aspects of Applied Biology acts as a good reference source for up to date techniques for researchers around the globe. The Aspects of Applied Biology series for these conferences are welcomed by the delegates and sell well for the Association. The most recent three volumes have been printed in colour and delegates felt it was well worth the extra cost for this.

Accepted papers will be published in the Aspects of Applied Biology series and available as part of the conference pack. Primary authors of accepted papers will be notified by session organisers by the end of March 2019, and sent instructions for the papers (6–8 pages for platform and 2–6 pages for poster presentations). Offers submitted by the 31 March 2019 deadline will be given priority for platform presentations. You can submit your offer using the attached form or online at our website: https://www.aab.org.uk
