| THE 7th International Society of Sugar Cane Technologists (ISSCT) Entomology Workshop was held from 20 to 24 April 2009 in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina under the theme: 'Impact of Globalisation on Sugar Cane Pests, Biodiversity and the Environment'. Technical sessions held over three days were grouped into five subject headings: biological control of sugarcane pests; pest management; insect-plant interactions; losses due to sugarcane pests; and biological studies of sugarcane pests. Following the technical sessions, field trips allowed delegates to view important insect pests of the Argentine sugarcane industry in the field and visit the Estación Experimental Agroindustrial Obispo Colombres, as well as cultural sites in the region surrounding San Miguel de Tucumán. The Entomology section concluded that globalisation will most likely continue to impact on the world's sugarcane industries. The ISSCT Entomology Workshops will therefore become increasingly important as a venue for entomologists to stay abreast of impending insect threats to their industries and to keep current with new technologies that will be vital for managing potential new invaders as well as maintaining sustainability | |
