Summary

The NZPPS Research Scholarship aims to promote research in pest control and plant protection, encouraging studies in disciplines such as entomology and ecology. Funded by the New Zealand Plant Protection Society, this scholarship supports students from New Zealand universities and recognized institutions. It focuses on topics related to managing weeds, pests, and pathogens in agriculture and natural environments, fostering innovation in plant protection practices.

Overview

A primary objective of The New Zealand Plant Protection Society is to pool and exchange information on the biology of weeds, invertebrate and vertebrate pests, pathogens and beneficial organisms, and methods for modifying their effects. As part of this objective, the Society has established a trust fund to support the New Zealand Plant Protection Society Research Scholarship. This Scholarship is to encourage research in relevant disciplines (Entomology, Plant pathology, Weed science, Zoology, Ecology, Plant protection sciences) on topics relating to control of pests, pathogens and/or weeds in primary production (Pastoral and arable agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry), or the natural or human environments.
