Congress
VIII National Congress of Applied Entomology
The eighth national congress on applied entomology took place in Mataró, bringing together researchers working on insects in agriculture, stored products and the environment.
Applied entomology is directly relevant to food preservation. Insects can damage stored grain, fruit and packaged products, and a treatment that controls them without compromising food quality is valuable.
The congress covered the biology, monitoring and management of insect pests in agricultural and stored product settings. The centre's food preservation work, including high CO2 atmospheres for pest control, sits within that wider field.
