• Product stewardship, sustainability, and safety
• Physical and chemical test methods related to crop protection products
Other topics of interest include but are not limited to; innovative crop protection chemicals to improve safety and sustainability, innovative application technologies, innovative farming techniques and innovative delivery systems.
Who Should Attend?
This symposium is targeted to individuals and companies involved in the development and/or research of agricultural, turf and ornamental pesticide, biopesticide, and nutritional formulations, chemistries and application and delivery systems in the agricultural and turf and ornamental industries. These entities also tend to be the stakeholders and interested parties.
Publication Information
Symposium presenters are required to submit a paper to the Selected Technical Paper (STP), an online and printed, peer-reviewed publication for the international scientific and engineering community. After the final selection of abstracts has been approved, the ASTM Editorial Office will send authors’ instructions via email. Manuscripts to be peer reviewed for the STP are due online no later than February 3, 2023 at the ASTM Editorial Office. The corresponding author (the author who is the main contact with ASTM Headquarters) will receive a copy of his/her paper in portable document format (PDF).
