We invite you to the October SLA webinar: “Advances and challenges in pest monitoring”

Coordinator: Dr. Pedro Yamamoto (Department of Entomology and Acarology of the Higher School of Agriculture “Luiz de Queiroz” ESALQ, University of São Paulo, Piracicaba/SP).
Postgraduate student team: Dr. Geovanny Barroso and Mag. Fernando Henrique Liost Filho.

They will speak about one of the most important phases in the management of agricultural pests, which is monitoring, a tool designed to determine and know the behavior, as well as the levels of insects and phytophagous mites in crops. The procedure is based on taking samples of material in the field using traps, pheromones, food attractants and remote sensing tools.

DATE: October 13
Hours: see poster according to country.
