SUMMARY:Dr Paul Horne Talk - Massey
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join Potatoes New Zealand for a Dr Paul Horne talk on Harnessing Integrated Pest Management for Sustainable Potato Production. \n\n\n\nDr. Paul Horne\, AustraliaAs a distinguished applied entomologist\, Dr. Horne initiated his impactful career in 1986 at the Victorian Department of Agriculture\, later establishing. IPM Technologies P/L in 1996—an industry leader in integrated pest management. \n\n\n\nDr. Horne’s unique methodology\, blending technical proficiency with a practical focus on growers\, has generated tangible solutions in agriculture. His influence is particularly notable in potato crops\, where he leads integrated pest management for various insect pests\, including potato virus vectors like aphids and thrips. His adept guidance aids growers in managing caterpillar pests\, such as the notorious potato moth\, through the application of IPM principles. Ongoing research addresses challenges posed by the Tomato Potato Psyllid\, a vector linked to Zebra Chip disease\, ensuring preparedness for effective pest management in regions like Australia and with immediate application in areas such as New Zealand. \n\n\n\nUnder Dr. Horne’s leadership\, IPM Technologies has markedly reduced pesticide reliance\, advocating sustainable pest management practices. His influence extends to fostering improved stewardship in the judicious and environmentally responsible use of pesticides. \n\n\n\nDr Paul Horne will be sharing his insights at the afternoon session. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP for catering purposes. \n\n\n\nLocation: AgHort Lecture Block (AH1)
