The section symposium holistically looks into the impacts of pesticides on agroentomology. We look forward to bringing together a diverse group of researchers to share an inclusive perspective on various molecular, biochemical and physiological trends in agroecosystems and studying the impacts of xenobiotics on pests, pollinators and beneficial insects.
