Hylobius Industry Research Programme Conference

24 April 2025

The Hylobius Industry Research Programme (HIRP) Conference is returning for 2025. Hear about the latest developments in research on Hylobius management from industry leaders and subject experts.

Hylobius abietis, commonly known as the large pine weevil, poses a significant challenge to forestry in the UK, particularly in the reforestation of felled areas with conifers. It is considered the most substantial threat to young trees, costing UK forest owners millions of pounds annually.

Targeted at practical forest managers, the conference will feature the latest research developments on Hylobius management from industry leaders and subject matter experts.
