This travel sponsorship enable two researchers to attend and present research outcomes from Australia relevant to other parts of the world at the International Congress of Entomology in Orlando and to inform ourselves of the latest research in IPM and pest issues relevant for our research in the cotton industry as well as other industries. Attending various symposia and discussions with researchers from other countries also gave us new ideas that could be incorporated into experiments. These discussions also provide opportunities to connect and collaborate with other researchers working on similar problems.
