Crop protection: new strategies for sustainable development
Résumé
GFP 2012 was the 42nd congress organized by the French Group of Pesticide research (“Groupe Français des Pesticides”, GFP), an association created in 1977 by a group of scientists from several French universities and research institutes. Initially, this conference was held twice a year, but nowadays, the adopted rhythm is once a year over a period of 3 days, usually in May. All scientific and technical aspects of the synthesis, reactivity, mode of action, toxicology, ecotoxicology, and environmental fate of pesticides are discussed.
