8TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTEGRATED FRUIT PRODUCTION
which will be held on 7-12 October 2012 in Kusadasi, Turkey

The main purpose of the conference is to provide a platform for promoting international collaboration as well as strengthening the cooperation between science and technology involving in integrated fruit production. Many experienced scientists and technicians who have been engaged since long in developing and applying integrated control strategies and biological control tools, willing to share their knowledge during the meeting, are expected to attend the conference. There will be parallel sessions for entomology and plant pathology topics.

The Conference has diverse topics on plant protection:

TOPICS
• Integrated control of fruit arthropod pests
