LAPRW 2021

LAPRW 2021 is the ideal platform to keep scientists, analysts, and administrators from governmental and private laboratories, regulatory bodies, health authorities, universities, research institutes, agrochemical and food industries, consumer associations, and other interested parties informed about the most important developments occurring in Latin American and elsewhere in the world. This conference will be virtual.

North American Chemical Residue Workshop

The North American Chemical Residue Workshop (NACRW) formerly the Florida Pesticide Residue Workshop (FPRW) conducts an annual meeting for scientists particularly interested in trace level analysis of pesticides, veterinary drug residues, and other chemicals in food, animal feed, and environmental samples.  The purpose of the meeting is to provide training, develop and improve technical knowledge, facilitate development and distribution of new analysis methods and techniques, and establish networking to promote professional cooperation between scientists of these interests. 2021 Submission Deadlines  Oral Presentations:  May 14, 2021 Poster Presentations: May 28, 2021

National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Webinar: Advancing Agricultural Herbicides through Chemistry

May 12, 2022, 11:00AM - 12:30PM ET Synthetic chemical herbicides are considered by many to be essential for productive American agriculture. Many farmers rely on the widespread application of herbicides throughout the growing cycle of various crops in order to combat weeds. However, herbicide resistance is a growing problem that is becoming increasingly concerning. Herbicides with new modes of action have been slow to emerge, and some of the most widely applied herbicides today are nearing half a century in use. One current technique to combat resistance is to use mixtures of herbicides with different modes of action, however this is only a short-term solution. New classes of herbicides will be needed in the long term. Several barriers exist to the development and deployment of a new herbicide class, including: high development costs, the length of time needed to develop, test, and secure approval for a new class, as well as evolving weed resistance. This webinar, hosted by the Chemical Sciences Roundtable, will discuss the nature and magnitude of herbicide resistance and explore opportunities and directions needed to better control weeds in agriculture.
