Future IPM 3.0
Bringing together communities dealing with different IPM aspects to share scientific, technological and regulatory information to build future IPM strategies. The main objective is to promote knowledge exchange among scientists, companies, advisors, farmers, policy makers and stakeholders, to identify approaches, tools and techniques to meet the future needs of crop protection. Future IPM 3.0 will offer the most advanced scientific and technical knowledge for advisors and growers, a unique opportunity for companies to present their innovation in IPM and to see the most recent scientific advances to further improve their products’ portfolio. The conference will be also a stimulating arena for scientists to present their most advanced discoveries.

Integrated Crop Management
Sustainable agriculture
The main challenges for agriculture worldwide are sustainable production and the reduction of risks and impacts of pesticide use on human health and the environment. These challenges can be met through integrated pest management (IPM) and the use of alternative approaches and techniques.
All stakeholders, including citizens, are expecting production systems to become more sustainable, while supplying healthier and safer food and protecting the environment and its biodiversity.
Research on low-risk substances and bio-pesticides as well as on other nonchemical alternatives is progressing rapidly and farmers will have increased access to innovative tools in plant protection and production.
Thinking Sustainable, Acting Sustainable
Since Future IPM 3.0 is about sustainable agriculture and development, we have proudly organized the event according to the principle WASTE AVOIDANCE and resource SUSTAINABILIY. All gadgets have been eliminated and the conference material and documents are either recyclable or available online.
Few days to go now, contribute to make a difference! Whenever possible, don’t print the documents and use public transport to arrive at Riva del Garda 15-20 October.
A Glimpse into the Program
Advanced IPM solutions in Europe
The international conference on “Future Integrated Pest Management” will be not a mere scientific congress, but it will combine a list of events to share scientific, technical and market knowledge on the major pillars of sustainable crop production.
The plenary session ‘FutureIPM 3.0 towards a sustainable agriculture’ sponsored by the OECD Co-operative Research Programme on Biological Resource Management for Sustainable Agricultural Systems will gather the most renowned experts worldwide on three relevant subjects: the role of policies and trends in sustainable integrated management in agriculture, the most advanced tools and innovation in crop protection and production, and the challenges that sustainable integrated production in agriculture will face and how to address them.
Two parallel workshops will focus on three hot topics of IPM:
- Induced resistance in plants: the contribution of science to an effective field application
- Novel tools and new challenges for IPM in viticulture
The conference Future IPM 3.0 is organized within the frame of the IOBC/WPRS General Assembly and by three working groups (Induced resistance in plants against insects and diseases, Integrated protection in viticulture, Multitrophic interactions in soil) of the International Organization for Biological and Integrated Control (IOBC/WPRS).
The week of events will be open by a technical conference (in Italian) presenting the most recent innovations for growers (biopesticides and pheromones, biocontrol and beneficial arthropods, agronomic practices, physical and technical solutions to prevent and control pest and pathogens, equipment and technologies, resistant and tolerant varieties, ICT to support a sustainable use of pesticides, web services, apps, decision support systems, digital solutions, etc.) organized in collaboration with companies and advisors.
The week of events hosts a workshop of the COST Action FA1405 - Using Three-way Interactions Between Plants, Microbes and Arthropods to Enhance Crop Protection and Production – focusing on Bottlenecks and opportunities in utilizing crop-arthropod-microbe (CAMo) interactions
A R2B and R2R event, an exhibition and several cultural events will complete the program.
The delegates will enjoy the local food and the beauty of Garda Lake, with its colorful autumn landscape.
