Second training day on pest control in urban ecosystems with “natural enemies”

Aug 1, 2024

On September 27th, in Madrid, a training day will be held on pest control in urban ecosystems. That same day, the Guide to natural enemies of pests in urban green spaces will also be presented, written by Xavier Pons, Roberto Meseguer and Belén Lumbierres, from the crop protection group of Agrotecnio and the entomology group of the Department of Plant Production and Forestry Sciences of the University of Lleida.

This guide is the result of more than twenty years of work of the group and presents the main groups of natural enemies of pests that can be found in urban green spaces. It has been created as a support tool for pest management and control personnel in urban ecosystems, but also for the public interested in the biodiversity of fauna in parks and gardens in cities and towns.

The conference on 27th September will take place in the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Montes, Forestal y del Medio Natural – Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The agenda of the event is available here.
