Spotlight on important agricultural pests

(University of California - Riverside) Hemipteran insects include many important economically damaging pests such as aphids, whiteflies, psyllids, leafhoppers, and thrips. Nearly 150 scientists from 18 states within the United States and 24 other countries will gather at the University of California, Riverside, June 22-25, to discuss these global pests. The 2nd International Hemipteran-Plant Interactions Symposium will bring together scientists, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in entomology, plant biology and plant pathology from all continents in the world, except Antarctica.
