Welcome to IPPC2019
The XIX International Plant Protection Congress will focus oncrop protection technologies to mitigate the effects of climatechange for food security and environment conservation.
On behalf of the International Association for the Plant
Protection Sciences (IAPPS), ICRISAT and the Crop Protection
Societies in India, the organizers are pleased to invite you toparticipate in IPPC2019.
The program of IPPC2019 is aimed at addressing many of thekey issues in crop protection being faced by the farmers tomeet the challenge of food security through sustainable crop
protection and conservation of the environment.

The IPPC brings together plant protection science and practice from around the world every 4 years. The IPPC is broadly multidisciplinary with an emphasis on an integrated approach to plant protection.
Thus, for 50+ years the IPPC has provided a forum for plant protection specialists comprising of plant pathologists, entomologists, weed scientists, nematologists, plant breeders, economists, chemists,
technology transfer specialists and legal advisers to communicate and discuss important problems and new discoveries related to crop losses due to pests and their management. The integration of these
disciplines will be reflected in the program.
