CropLife supports PMCP's five-year thrust for pest management in the Philippines

CropLife Philippines recently joined the successful celebration of PMCP's 51st anniversary with an annual scientific conference entitled “Embracing Science, Engaging Legislation for More Effective Pest Management.” In a bid to sustain the momentum of this year’s conference, the theme presents the overarching goal of the organization for the next five years.

The PMCP or the Pest Management Council of the Philippines founded in 1969, is an organization of plant pathologists, entomologist, weed scientists, public and private pest control operators, as well as sales and technical representatives of pesticide industries in the country. It has been going strong for the past 51 years, at the forefront of advancing responsible pest management advocacies even before the issue became a national concern.

Participants were treated to a wealth of information with scientific sessions on the latest and most relevant studies pertaining to new diseases, microorganisms, bacteria as well as strategies to counteract them. Studies have also presented the impact of weather on pests and diseases affecting the vegetable industry which proves helpful to the participants in developing the most effective methods of management.
