Crop protection: new strategies for sustainable development [PDF]
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2014 GFP 2012 was the 42nd congress organized by the French Group of Pesticide research (“Groupe Francais des Pesticides”, GFP), an association created in 1977 by a group of scientists from several French universities and research institutes. Initially, this conference was held twice a year, but nowadays, the adopted rhythm is once a year over a period of 3

Minicell‐based fungal RNAi delivery for sustainable crop protection [PDF]
Microbial Biotechnology, 2021 Summary Spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) using topical dsRNA applications has risen as a promising, target‐specific, and environmentally friendly disease management strategy against phytopathogenic fungi. However, dsRNA stability, efficacy, and scalability are still the main constraints facing SIGS broader ...

GM as a route for delivery of sustainable crop protection [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2011 Modern agriculture, with its vast monocultures of lush fertilized crops, provides an ideal environment for adapted pests, weeds, and diseases. This vulnerability has implications for food security: when new pesticide-resistant pest biotypes evolve they can devastate crops.

Role of modern chemistry in sustainable arable crop protection [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2007 Organic chemistry has been, and for the foreseeable future will remain, vitally important for crop protection. Control of fungal pathogens, insect pests and weeds is crucial to enhanced food provision. As world population continues to grow, it is timely to assess the current situation, anticipate future challenges and consider how new chemistry may ...
