Where are all those who have the potential talent and
very interested parties that active in the field of plant protection in the
tropics? It’s an issue that we should discus long time ago, which we have been
missing a quite number of members since deactivation of our Journal of
Plant Protection in the Tropics and also
MAPPS Newsletter in year 2004. If I am not mistaken, our last newsletter was
out published and printed is the MAPPS Newsletter Jun-December 2003, Volume 23,
Issue 2. It have been our last publication and stop due to members depleted in the
society.
With the current President of MAPPS 34th Council and Council Members, we are committed to move MAPPS forward and to take back its place in agriculture industry. The return of the MAPPS gives an
opportunity for the current MAPPS Council to promote and bring changes to the
34 years old MAPPS.
"With
this urgency, we need to recollect all that we have lost and restructure our approaches in order to meet niche of interested parties
to draw participation in the society activities. We are
welcoming thinkers and fresh new comers to join our event in the near future".
To all of you who didn't know about the society, this is a brief introduction about MAPPS....
