Microbial Biocontrol of Arthropods,
Weeds, and Plant Pathogens: Risks, Benefits and Challenges
Nov
28 – Dec 1, 2010
The National Conservation
Training Center
Shepherdstown, West Virginia
Microbial control of arthropods, weeds, and plant pathogens
still remains underutilized, in part, due to knowledge
gaps, challenging regulations, relatively limited funding
opportunities for applied microbial biocontrol projects,
perceptions of risk, and other factors. The intent of
this microbial biological control symposium is to bring
together microbial ecologists, population biologists,
microbial geneticists, conservation biologists, and sociologists
to showcase the "state of the science" of
microbial biological control, provide a balanced discussion
on perceptions of risk, and identify strategies to improve
public trust and support for microbial biological control.
This information will then be used to develop a position
paper to help enhance communications about the state
of the science and inform regulatory policy.
