CROPLIFE SYMPOSIA: RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

SPONSORED BY CROPLIFE CANADA

Tuesday July 9, Hall C East at 11:45 am

Resistant insects, diseases, and weeds have the potential to affect all crops in Canada.
Herbicide resistance alone costs Canadian growers an estimated $1.3 billion annually
due to increased input use and decreased yield and quality. CropLife Canada invites
Plant Canada attendees to be part of this discussion and learn the challenges and
opportunities in the resistance field. The panel will focus on how researchers, industry
and government can collaborate to ensure science-based policies best support
innovation and secure farmers’ access to the tools that help combat resistance.
