Conference of the IOBC/WPRS Working Group “Integrated Protection in Viticulture”
Welcome to the Conference of the IOBC/WPRS Working Group “Integrated Protection in Viticulture”
We are pleased to invite you to the Conference of the IOBC/WPRS Working Group on "Integrated Protection in Viticulture," which will be held in Mikulov, Czech Republic, from October 13 to 15, 2025. This international conference will bring together scientists, researchers, students, and consultants focusing on biological control and integrated protection in viticulture. The event offers an opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss the latest research findings, while also identifying promising avenues for future research. The symposium is organized by Mendel University in Brno and the Winegrowers' Association of the Czech Republic under the auspices of the International Organisation for Biological and Integrated Control (IOBC).

About
Plant protection in viticulture has become a subject of ongoing debate due to the adverse effects of pesticide use on both human health and the environment. In response, the EU has implemented several initiatives aimed at mitigating the negative impacts of intensive farming practices and promoting a shift towards more ecologically based pest management strategies. Additionally, climate change presents distinct regional challenges for wine-growing areas across Europe. While some regions face extreme conditions such as heat, drought, and wildfires, others contend with prolonged rainfall and fungal diseases. The primary challenge is to develop sustainable and effective plant protection and cultivation systems that are tailored to the specific needs of each region. Although research in this area has produced impressive results, implementing these findings into practical solutions remains a significant hurdle. For our working group, representing the wine-growing regions of the Western Palearctic, it is crucial to scientifically understand regional sustainability bottlenecks and communicate to policymakers that these challenges can vary considerably across different regions.
