Organized  by the Department for Sustainable Food Process of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Piacenza.

The novel topics related to recent advances in pesticide risk assessment, as well as risk mitigation measures, are covered. The organising committee together with the session moderators have selected the oral and poster presentations that fit in the following sessions:
Modelling pesticides fate, exposure, and effects
Sorption/desorption, aged and bound residues, spray drift, volatilization, leaching, spatial approaches, new developments for link between exposure and effects.
Pesticides behavior at microscopic level
Sorption/desorption, transformation, metabolism, bioavailability, rhizosphere microbial ecology, volatilization, plant uptake.
Pesticide Risk mitigations measures (RMMs): efficacy evaluation and
implementation
How RRMs are integrated in the pesticides decision-making process, implementation in EU countries for point & nonpoint contamination, role of precision agriculture in exposure reduction.
BioSolutions
Low risk pesticides, bio-stimulants & biopesticides, plant elicitors, systemic acquired resistance (SAR) & induced systemic resistance (ISR) laboratory and field results, regulatory aspects.
