Join Us in San Francisco in 2014!
The IUPAC International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry has been held every 4 years since 1967. In 2014, the 13th Congress will be sponsored by the American Chemical Society, Division of Agrochemicals or AGRO. It will be held at the ACS National Meeting and Exposition in San Francisco on August 10-14, 2014 at the beautiful San Francisco Marriott Marquis. Abstract submissions will begin in early 2014.
Vision
The Congress will draw on strengths of the ACS-AGRO tradition in bringing together the world’s leading experts to share recent discoveries and to debate future directions for advancing research and regulation of agricultural chemistry and pest management science, promoting public health, and preserving environmental quality.
