SUMMARY:Biocontrol Summit
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting and Fostering International Collaborations that Enhance Weed Biocontrol in North America\n\n\n\n\n\nAbove: Classical Weed Biocontrol Summit presentations. Subscribe to NAISMA communications to learn more about our year-round offerings of professional development in invasive species management. View the recordings from 2020 here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNAISMA’s virtual Classical Weed Biocontrol Summit\, Highlighting and Fostering International Collaborations that Enhance Weed Biocontrol in North America\, took place on December 2\, 2021\, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. CT. \n\n\n\nThe Annual Weed Biocontrol Summit communicates the latest information in weed biocontrol research to North American invasive plant managers\, educators\, and researchers.  \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, we focused on international collaborations\, which are a critical component in developing weed biocontrol opportunities for our most troublesome weeds. Without foreign exploration and research and development through international collaborations\, weed biocontrol simply would not exist. This year we will hear from international partners spanning five continents that help make biocontrol a readily available weed management tool for North America.   \n\n\n\nSponsored by USFS and USDA.\n\n\n\nPhotos courtesy Montana Biocontrol Project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSummit Agenda\n\n\n\n2 December 2021\, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. CT \n\n\n\n11:00-11:05    Introduction\, acknowledgment statement\, housekeeping \n\n\n\n11:05-11:30    Hariet Hinz\, Switzerland \n\n\n\n11:30-11:55    René Sforza\, France \n\n\n\n11:55-12:20    Massimo Cristofaro\, Italy \n\n\n\n12:20-12:40    Iain Paterson\, South Africa \n\n\n\n12:40-1:05    Guillermo Cabrera Walsh\, Argentina \n\n\n\n1:05-1:15    Break \n\n\n\n1:15-1:40    Marcelo Diniz Vitorino\, Brazil \n\n\n\n1:40-2:05      Rose De Clerck-Floate\, Canada and Mark Schwarzlaender\, Idaho\, United States \n\n\n\n2:05-2:30        Darcy Oishi and Tracy Johnson\, Hawaii\, United States \n\n\n\n2:30-2:55        Matthew Purcell\, Australia \n\n\n\n2:55- 3:00       Closing \n\n\n\nSummit Details\n\n\n\nHariet L.
