The Weed Science Society of the Philippines (WSSP) was organized on
September 6, 1968 by individuals and organizations interested in the study and control of
weeds. The major objectives of WSSP are: 1) encourage and promote the development
of scientific knowledge concerning weeds and their control; 2) foster high standards of
weed science education and research and encourage its acceptance as a field of training;
3) promote the publication and dissemination of knowledge gained on weeds and their
control; 4) cooperate with other organizations that have similar or related objectives; and
5) advise government, upon request, in matters of weed science and related areas of plant
protection.
WSSP organizes and co-sponsors scientific meetings and conferences to discuss
and evaluate recent advances in the field of weed science and plant protection in the
country and internationally. WSSP maintains the Philippine Journal of Weed Science as
its official publication, published at least once a year.
WSSP has two scholarship grants: the Undergraduate Scholarship Grant that
supports students from the two main universities in the Philippines; the University of the
Philippines at Los Baños, Laguna and Leyte State University, Leyte
INVITATION
Dear Colleagues, Friends and Fellow Weed Workers:

The Organizing Committee is honored and pleased to invite you to the 19th
conference of the Asian-Pacific Weed Science Society. It will be held in Manila,
Philippines in 17-21 March, 2003. The conference will be hosted by the Weed Science
Society of the Philippines (WSSP) and co-sponsored by the Pest Management Council of
the Philippines (PMCP) and the Crop Protection Association of the Philippines (CPAP).
It is open to all APWSS members and other fellow workers in weed science. It is attended
by about 500 delegates from over 30 countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including
Australia, New Zealand, U.S. and Europe.

The Organizing Committee is preparing a program that will cater to a broad
range of interests from immediate on-farm weed control problems in tropical crops to the
latest in biotechnology and information technology as related to weed science. In this
age of globalization, these issues are of utmost importance in order to keep pace with the
fast development of technology in this new millennium. In addition to the scientific
program, we are also preparing a program for spouses and accompanying persons.
Manila, the site of the conference, offers a wide range of places for sight seeing,
shopping, dining and entertainment.

Having hosted two past APWSS conferences in 1969 and 1983, WSSP looks
forward to sharing its hospitality again with all of you. So we enjoin everyone to come to
Manila in 2003 to get updated and discuss the latest trends and developments in weed
science, visit with old friends, renew or make new acquaintances and in the process also
promote the advancement of weed science in the Asia-Pacific region.

We then look forward to having you with us in Manila in 2003 for an educational,
informative and exciting conference.

Sincerely yours,

DR. AURORA M. BALTAZAR
President, Asian-Pacific Weed Science Society
Chair, Organizing Committee 19th APWSS Conference
