About The Singapore Conference

PREFACE

It gives me great pleasure and is an honor to welcome you, on behalf of the National University of Singapore, to this International Conference on Fumigation and Controlled Atmosphere Storage of Grain.

The storage of grain free from insect infestation and damage is of the utmost importance to many nations. Millions of dollars could be lost if grain is not protected from pest attack. I am glad that we have here with us a group of distinguished scientists whose expertise is in the field of fumigation and controlled atmosphere storage of grain. I look forward as you no doubt do, to meeting then and to learning of the advances that have been made in this most important field over the last few years.

It is gratifying to see the large number of participants in this conference, and to know that most of the continents of the world are represented among them. Our delegates come from academic institutions, research organizations, and trade and industry, as well as government agencies. I am particularly pleased to note that the Dependent of Zoology of the National University of Singapore is well represented. Our Department is deeply involved in research in insect control in grain storage. We work closely with industry so that the outcome of the research can be applied to trade and commerce in a tangible way. Besides contributing to the various topics of discussion, which I believe you will find fruitful and challenging, I hope you will take the opportunity to do some sightseeing during your stay in Singapore. I would also like to urge you to participate in two activities that Singaporeans enjoy doing in their leisure eating and shopping. Welcome to Singapore. May your stay be enjoyable, and nay the conference be stimulating and productive for you. Thank you.

Dr S.H. Ho, Department of Zoology, National University of Singapore.
