\nDuring a time when the world is in the deadly grip of a human respiratory virus, the SARS-CoV-2, many may ask why there is a need to focus on plant health when all attention and focus is needed to concentrate on measures to save the lives of potentially millions of people worldwide. The life and health of plants appear utterly insignificant in comparison to human health or live threats and yet they are intricately interwoven. Plants are enabling us to live and to exist on this planet…Download Article<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Pest Risk Management in Trade: The Opportunity from Using Integrated Combined Measures in a Systems Approach (ISPM 14)<\/strong> – M.

Challenging the Formulator: Biocontrol and Conventional Crop Protection<\/strong> – Jim Bullock, iFormulate Ltd, describes how formulators are meeting the challenges set by todays pesticides and biocontrol agents. Website: iformulate.biz E-mail: jim@iformulate.biz<\/em>
\nWhether it is a synthetic or a biological material, the journey of an active ingredient (AI) from manufacture to its target site is a perilous one. Along the way there are numerous opportunities for the AI to be degraded, destroyed or removed. Figure 1 provides an overview of that journey. Following production of the AI, it may be vulnerable to chemical and thermal instability. Again, during formulation and on storage after manufacture, possible physical and chemical instability will need to be considered…Download Article<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Broomrape Threat to Agriculture<\/strong> – Diego Rubiales, Institute for Sustainable Agriculture, CSIC, 14004 C\u00f3rdoba, Spain<\/em>
\nThe broomrapes are root parasitic weeds, a few of which have adapted to agricultural environments posing serious threats to major crops. In spite of huge efforts in management, rather than being contained, the broomrape threat is increasing, extending to new crops and new areas. Strict phytosanitary controls should therefore be enforced to prevent the inadvertent introduction into non-infected areas and its spread in infected ones…Download Article<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
