International Symposium: Intractable Weeds and Plant Invaders ISIW&PI
17-21 July 2006
PONTA DELGADA, AZORES, PORTUGAL
Agricultural weeds and plant invaders are research subjects generally studied in isolation. However, intractable weeds and plant invaders also raise similar questions regarding their understanding and control. This symposium aims to gather researchers from the fields of weed biology and plant invasions in the same meeting, allowing a broader discussion and a transfer of knowledge between these two complementary fields.
Symposium topics
Biology and genetics; Ecology; Toxicology; Environmental Impact; Economic Impact; Modelling Surveys;Databases; Regulations; Management; Mechanical Control; Physical Control; Chemical Control; Biological Control
