1st International Conference on Plant Protection Sciences (ICPPS-2022) will provide an opportunity to encourage and strengthen the scientific and technological collaboration between Pakistan and advanced countries of the world. The knowledge sharing and linkages will boost up capacity of researchers, scientists, academia, students, progressive growers, and industries for innovative and environment friendly strategies for crop protection and for the betterment of sustainable agriculture of Pakistan. Emerging pests and diseases, which were not been reported before, however, could become serious threats to agro-ecosystem due to climate change. The participants will learn how to minimize the risks to agricultural production, natural resources, and human health and safety by effectively managing existing agricultural pests and diseases of economically important crops. The ultimate objective of this conference is to establish long lasting interactions for the exchange of innovative knowledge, and capacity building between scientists related to the field of Plant Protection.
