IOBC-WPRS 2023

WELCOME NOTE

Plant protection in viticulture is matter of discussion due to the undesirable effects of pesticide use on human health and the environment. EU has launched various measures to reduce negative impacts of intensive management practices and to promote the transition towards more ecologically-based pest management methods. In addition, climate change poses particular regional challenges in the different wine-growing countries. While heat, drought and fire are pushing viticulture to its limits here, other areas are struggling at times with continuous rain and fungal diseases. The particular challenge here is to develop plant protection and cultivation systems that are as sustainable and effective as possible for each region. Research in this field is producing excellent results but their implementation in practice is still challenging. For our working group, which represents the wine-growing regions of the Western Palearctic, it is particularly important to understand scientifically the regional bottlenecks of sustainability and to communicate towards policy-makers that these may vary greatly from region to region.

We are pleased to invite you to the Conference of the IOBC/WPRS Working Group “Integrated Protection in Viticulture” that will take place at Logroño, Spain. This international conference (3 – 5 October 2023) aims to bring together scientists, researchers, students and consultants working on biological control and integrated protection in viticulture. This conference offers opportunities to share ideas and to discuss current research findings. Promising areas for future research will be identified. The Symposium will be organised under the auspices of the International Organisation for Biological and Integrated Control (IOBC) by the Instituto de Ciencias de la Vid y del Vino (ICVV).

We invite participants to attend this conference and to present their latest research results.
We look forward to seeing you in Logroño,
  Christoph Hoffmann (convenor)
  David Gramaje (local organizer)

LOGROÑO

Logroño is the capital of the Autonomous Community of La Rioja. It is bathed by the Ebro River, which it embraces in its growth and development.
Among the best known virtues of the city, it is worth mentioning the culture of wine, gastronomy, the Camino de Santiago, the Old Town or the character of First Commercial City of Spain.

The size of the city invites visitors to stroll around and enjoy its significant enclaves. The Paseo de El Espolón, the co-cathedral of Santa María de La Redonda; the convent of La Merced, current seat of the regional Parliament; the characteristic Portales street, the church of Santiago El Real, or the church of Santa María de Palacio, are some examples of interest that cannot be missed.

 

LA RIOJA

This region, located in the western vertex of the Ebro valley, presents a privileged variety of landscapes, flora and fauna, due to the different geographical characteristics of its natural regions, giving life to the rivers that cross it to fertile plains.

 

Being the smallest region of Spain, it has taken part in all the historical moments of this one. Occupied by the Romans and Muslims, in the Middle Ages it was the center of disputes between Navarre, Castile and Aragon. In this same period, the Camino de Santiago was a determining phenomenon for its cultural development, becoming a center of influence of the first order, especially through its monasteries, true foci of knowledge and where the first written text in Castilian was forged. Thus, the road is marked by monumental towns of great beauty such as Calahorra, Arnedo, San Millán de la Cogolla, Santo Domingo de la Calzada, and Logroño, already founded by the Romans and nowadays
