Brassicaceae plants have tremendous potential to be used in crop rotations as a natural pesticide source, thereby decreasing our dependence on synthetic chemicals. Various research groups around the world have been exploring the prospective use of these plants to control insects, nematodes, weeds, and fungal pathogens.  The goal of this Symposium is to bring together chemists, agronomists, entomologists, nematologists, plant biochemists, plant pathologists, and soil scientists to comprehensively address issues critical to successful application and adoption of biofumigation in managed ecosystems.  A field tour in the Palouse region of northern Idaho is to be held on the last day of the conference.

Registration
Early registration fees are $275  USD, and will include lunches on all days and at least one dinner. Hotel lodging costs of approximately $80 a night are to be expected. On-campus housing will be available at a lower rate of approximately $55 a night.
