National Forum on Biological Control

Within each theme, sessions explore biocontrol research, management, partnerships, and economic and landscape impacts. Example topics are highlighted in the linked table. We invite anyone interested in giving an oral or poster presentation to submit an abstract by the deadline. To ensure a common thread exists between the presentations throughout the conference, we’d like abstracts and presentations to center around: The power of biocontrol: successes and challenges from the past, present, and future.

Please submit your oral and/or poster abstracts and biographical sketches by October 31, 2026. Guidelines for abstracts and biographical sketches are linked here. The program committee will review and approve abstracts. Acceptance will be based on relevance to biological control and topic areas, session space availability, and receipt of the abstract by the deadline.
