Invitation
The Symposium will have appeal to entomologists, viticulture researchers, environmental scientists, genetic researchers, phytochemists and individuals in related areas. Its main aims are to allow contacts and interactions among scientists from different countries around the world and to improve the know¬ledge about soilborne pests in viticulture.

- Session 3: Rootstock breeding for phylloxera & nematode resistance
- Session 4: Pest management strategies in viticulture against soil-borne pests
