August 21 2017 - 8:30AM
Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ:MBII), (MBI) a leading
provider of bio-based pest management and plant health products for
agriculture, turf and ornamental and water treatment markets, has
announced it is sponsoring an educational symposia for growers in
Honduras and Chile.
Dr. Bielinski Santos, Field Development and
Technical Services Manager for MBI’s Southeastern U.S. and
Caribbean territories, serves on the executive committee of the
Latin America Ag Educational Network that organized the symposium.
Titled, “1st Technical Symposium on Research and Modern
Agricultural Production Techniques,” the event will occur annually
in Latin America, and this year is being hosted on September 2,
2017 at the "Escuela Agricola Panamericana at Zamorano, Honduras,"
an important and renowned agricultural university in Central
America and the Caribbean. The meeting will focus on current and
important topics for agricultural production in the region that
would broadly benefit from the adoption of modern research and
technologies. The Latin America Ag Educational Network’s primary
goal is to open a constant educational channel to communicate
relevant research results beyond scientific conferences.
The talks are being delivered by nine experts in
each field from seven countries. There will be also graduate
student presentations in the afternoon session. The topics
include:
- Experiences with biopesticides and stimulants in specialty
crops (Dr. Bielinski Santos, MBI)
- Principles to design an efficient nutritional program for crops
(Dr. Bielinski Santos, MBI)
- Use of soilless media for premium pepper production under
protected agriculture (I Hernandez, Univ. of Florida (UF))
- Moisture sensors for irrigation of fruit trees (C Zambrano,
UF)
- Monitoring moisture in modern corn production (M Zamora,
UF)
- Efficient management of low input cattle production in Central
America (H Obregon, Latin America Ag Educational Network)
- Optimizing early strawberry production (E Torres,
EAP-Zamorano)
- Economic importance of effectively controlling beetles (J
Orozco, EAP-Zamorano)
- Production of biodegradable polymers (JA Ruano,
EAP-Zamorano)
- Cover crops for weed control and crop nutrition (A Serra,
EAP-Zamorano)
Over 200 people have already RSVP’d for the
event, and nearly 300 attendees are expected.
MBI is also helping to organize a symposium on
Biopesticides and Bio-inputs for Sustainable Agriculture on October
12, 2017 in Chile.
