IAPPS Blog Launched!

http://iapps2010.wordpress.com

I am pleased to inform IAPPS members that the IAPPS Blog < http://iapps2010.wordpress.com> has been launched on WordPress.com. The Blog is designed to provide a service to our global IAPPS Membership. With members from more than 60 nations, IAPPS seeks to promote global IPM by stimulating the development and exchange of plant protection information among entomologists, plant pathologists, nematologists, weed scientists, plant breeders, social scientists, economists, crop production and marketing specialists, technology transfer specialists, growers, policy makers, administrators, crop protection consultants, and environmental and other interested groups. Through the IAPPS Blog we hope to provide a global forum for the purpose of identifying, evaluating, integrating, and promoting plant protection concepts, technologies, and policies that are economically, environmentally, and socially acceptable. The Blog is open to the public for viewing but only IAPPS members are eligible to submit posts or comment on submitted posts. To post an article, news item, question about pest identification or any other item on the Blog please send the item accompanied by a photo in JPEG format to me by email attachment.
