Type of event	Conference
Location	Corse France

After 5 years of research on prokaryote-associated diseases transmitted by insects in tropical and subtropical perennial crops, TROPICSAFE closes its journey with a series of conferences, organised by crop, in which the three central diseases will be addressed: Grapevine Yellows (GY), huanglongbing (HLB) affecting citrus and coconut Lethal Yellowing (LY).

The final event will cover all the areas of action on which TROPICSAFE has focused its research, managing to combat economically relevant bacterial diseases that affect coconut, citrus and grapevines by expanding knowledge about them. The discoveries that will be presented allow reducing insecticide treatments, making an early diagnosis with specific, reliable and economical detection methods, implementing classical biological control programmes, creating predictive models of pathogen and insect vector dispersal and, in short, developing new strategies for sustainable and ecological integrated pest management.

More than 40 presentations, covering everything you need to know about these diseases, their detection, insect vectors and possible biological control.

Day 1 - Grapevine yellows

Day 2 - “Huanglongbing”

Day 3 - Lethal yellowing
