Invitation Dear Colleagues, Third International Biopesticide Conference (BIOCICON 2011): BIOCICON-2011 is being organized from 28 to 30 November 2011 by Crop Protection Research Centre, Department of Advanced Zoology and Biotechnology, St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Palayamkottai, Tamil Nadu, India in collaboration with Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. This conference is in continuation of BIOCICON 2009 held previously in the same Institution assisted by Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi, Ministry of Earth Science, New Delhi and Tamil Nadu State Council for Science and Technology (TNSCST), Chennai. BIOCICON 2011 is aimed to promote basic and applied research and development for ecofriendly pest and disease management in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Biopesticides are living organisms (natural enemies) or their products (phytochemicals, microbial products) or byproducts (semiochemicals) which can be used for the management of pests (microorganisms - nematodes, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, virus and viroid; macroorganisms - invertebrates and vertebrates) that are injurious to plants. Biopesticides have an important and increasing role in crop protection, although most commonly in combination with other tools including chemical pesticides as part of Bio-intensive Integrated Pest Management (BIPM). World-wide use of biopesticides has been rapidly increasing. It is in the spirit of this new conference series to attract researchers from a broad range of academic disciplines which are contributing in the fighting against harmful pest and diseases, not only those more traditionally involved in this research area (microbiologists, biologists, entomologists, chemists, genetics...), but also experimental and theoretical/computational chemists (rational design of antimicrobial compounds, chemical synthesis, analogues, surface modification of materials...), physicists (radiation, nano-emulsions (surface tension), ultrasounds, antimicrobial materials, properties of nano-materials...) or engineers (technologies) and industry and public partnership. Hence we are organizing the "Third International Biopesticide Conference'' with the mantra of organic crop production and protection for sustained and safe food supply.
