Posthumous award
Prof. Michael J Way MA, DSC 1922‐2011
Emeritus Professor
Imperial College, Silwood Park (Ascot), UK
Michael Way was internationally recognized for his work on insect pest management. Michael’s professional career began as a research assistant for the famed British insect physiologist Sir Vincent Wigglesworth, and he was undoubtedly influenced by Wigglesworth's approach to entomological research. He then joined Rothamsted Experimental Station in September 1943, where he studied DDT and other new insecticides, seeking ways to make them more selective. On secondment to Zanzibar to work on cloves in 1950, he was, however, soon studying damage caused by coreid bugs, then referred to as Theraptus spp., which were reducing coconut yields and the ant, work that has provided the basis of practical biological control of key pests of coconuts. Returning to Rothamsted in 1957, Michael Way recognized the need to forecast when insecticides should be applied to avoid expensive and environmentally unacceptable calendar based treatments. This work and its implications influenced much of the subsequent research program at Rothamsted and continued on his appointment as a Reader at Imperial College in 1961. He obtained his DSc from the University of London before being appointed to a personal chair as Professor of Applied Zoology at Imperial College in 1969. Studies relating the numbers of the black bean aphid Aphis fabae overwintering on their spindle tree host to subsequent economic crop loss in field beans led to the first implementation of a forecasting program for A. fabae in the United Kingdom in 1977. He made two exceptional conceptual contributions to the world of applied entomology. The first was elegant experimental work demonstrating (with aphids) that intra‐specific competition starts its impact on population regulation remarkably early in the
7
exponential stage of population growth. Secondly he pointed out, during the debate in the 1970s on ecosystem diversity and stability, that for any pest problem, the introduction of just one element of new diversity would usually be all that was needed to improve control. At Imperial College’s world famous field station, Silwood Park (Ascot), Michael brought together the wide ranging expertise on insects, nematodes, plant pathogens and weeds to form the Silwood Centre of Pest Management and persuaded the Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control (CIBC) to re‐locate their UK staff and headquarters to Silwood, thus forging closer links with applied ecological research programs in thetropics. Silwood Park was undoubtedly the world’s leading training ground for entomologists from the developing world, particularly sub‐Saharan Africa. As an advisor to FAO, he was instrumental in helping to develop the draft Code of Conduct for the Import and Release of Exotic Biological Control Agents. Professor Way was elected a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society in 1953 and was elected an Honorary Fellow in 2007. He was passionate that scientific papers should be written succinctly in plain English and helped many students with advice, always given in his own inimitable kindly way. On retirement in 1985 he was appointed Emeritus Professor and Senior Research Fellow and continued to supervise PhD students and do research, particularly on ants. He was also at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) as a visiting scientist for three months a year over a five year period with K L Heong. This enabled him to review the role of biodiversity, which now forms the foundation of the IRRI ecological engineering approach to pest management. His contributions to rice pest management will always remain classics. Michael's scientific hallmarks were a keen intellect coupled with charismatic enthusiasm. Michael was a tremendous role model and will be remembered fondly by the many former students globally and staff at Silwood Park for his friendly approach and guidance.

Team award AVRDC‐The World Vegetable Center
Shanhua, Tainan, Taiwan Plant Protection and Breeding Team
This Team Award is presented to all of the AVRDC plant protection specialists and breeders, past and present, and partners who have contributed to the success of the AVRDC plant protection program. Multi‐disciplinary teamwork and partnership are the key features of the AVRDC program. The IPPAD is presented to the AVRDC Plant Protection and Breeding Team for their success in developing tomato, pepper and eggplant IPM strategies.
Tomato‐ Current work aims to develop resistance to the whitefly‐transmitted geminiviruses causing tomato yellow leaf curl diseases (TYLCD), bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, and late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans, three of the most important problems facing tomato growers in the tropics. AVRDC germplasm has been released as about 164 varieties in 39 countries. An impact assessment of the impact of tomato varieties resistant to bacterial wilt and TYLCD in India showed that resistant varieties are have higher (87%) yields and
receive a better market price (90%) than before adoption of the resistant variety. In East Africa AVRDC varieties increased tomato production by almost 40%, improved food supplies to the poor, reduced production costs by 17%, and increasing farm income by 21%. The economic impact in many communities was huge, with 85‐95% of smallholder farmers in some areas able to build modern homes. When bacterial wilt resistant varieties are not available, grafting of tomato on resistant rootstock has been developed by AVRDC. In Vietnam grafted tomatoes yielded 60 t/ha in Lam Dong—an increase of 50% in yield compared to non‐grafted tomatoes. Grafting has recently been introduced into India in collaboration with the Integrated Pest Management Collaborative Research Support Program (PM CRSP).
Pepper‐ Chili pepper, the most important vegetable grown in Asia and is a vital ingredient in many local cuisines. It is a major source of income for poor farmers, but both chili and sweet pepper suffer from many diseases and are difficult to grow in hot, humid conditions. The Center has been working in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia and the Caucasus to develop varieties resistant to anthracnose, Phytophthora blight, bacterial wilt, Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Chili veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV), Potato virus Y (PVY) and begomoviruses. By 2010, about 99 chili pepper, 39 sweet peppers, and 20 cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) pepper lines had been released. A survey among 29 Asian seed companies has shown that 16% of the chili pepper cultivars to be released in the near future are developed from AVRDC’s germplasm.
Eggplant‐ In the monsoon season when other vegetables are in short supply, eggplant is the only vegetable that is available at an affordable price for rural and urban poor. Eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB) is the most destructive pest in most major eggplant producing countries of South Asia. In Bangladesh farmers spray insecticides up to 84 times during a 6–7 month cropping season. An IPM strategy involving 1) field sanitation; 2) prompt excision and disposal of EFSB‐damaged shoots (with the larvae inside) throughout the season; 3) installation of traps baited with sex pheromone to attract and kill EFSB adult males and 4) withholding insecticide use for as long as possible to allow native natural enemies of EFSB to proliferate and help control the pest was developed by AVRDC in collaboration with the Natural Resources Institute (NRI), and promoted in Bangladesh and India. Pesticide reduction was 65–75% in both Bangladesh and India. In Bangladesh, number of pesticide spray applications on eggplant per season dropped to 21‐33 compared with 90‐110 in non IPM fields. An ex‐ante evaluation of IPM using the Economic Surplus Model in Bangladesh revealed an internal rate of return (IRR) of 39% and a benefit‐cost ratio (BCR) of 3.25. This IPM technology has been adopted far beyond the implementation locations in both India and Bangladesh and has a major impact on food security.

Individual Awards
Professor Christian Borgemeister icipe ‐ International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology
Nairobi, Kenya
Director General‐ icipe Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society (UK), 2006
Vice President, International Branch, Entomological Society of America, 2010 During the last 25 years Professor Christian Borgemeister has made significant contributions to the field of plant protection, with a particular emphasis on biological control and integrated pest management (IPM) in the tropics. Particularly impressive is the breadth of his work, ranging from classical biological control, for instance on the larger grain borer (LGB) in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), habitat management approaches to cereal stemborer control, conservation biological control of aphids, entomopathogens such as fungi and nematodes, to augmentative biological control in greenhouses.
He started his research career as a student at the Universities of Göttingen, Stuttgart‐Hohenheim and Hannover (Germany) studying multi‐trophic interactions in cereal aphids. In 1992 he joined the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture’s (IITA) Biological Control for Africa program in Cotonou (Benin) working on the integrated and biological control of Prostephanustruncatus, the notorious Larger Grain Borer (LGB), a devastating invasive post‐harvest pest of maize and cassava throughout SSA. The IITA team made enormous progress in understanding the complex biology and ecology of LGB, especially in its native forest habitat, and linking it to IPM in the storage environment. Moreover, LGB is arguably the first case of the successful use of classical biological control for an invasive post‐harvest pest.
From 1998 to 2005 he served as Professor for Applied Entomology at the Universities of Giessen and Hannover in his native Germany where he continued
to focus his research on plant protection issues in the tropics. Studies included maize stemborers in Cameroon, soil‐borne pests of cassava in Colombia, IPM of greenhouse‐produced tomatoes in Thailand, constraints of peri‐urban smallholder vegetable production systems in Vietnam and the PR China and augmentative biocontrol of greenhouse pests in Europe. In May 2005 Christian Borgemeister was appointed the 3rd Director General of icipe a 40 years old independent pan‐African research and development center headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. icipe continues to be the reference Center for integrated pest management in Africa. Trademark achievements include icipe’s push‐pull program, biological control of maize stemborers in SSA, biocontrol of the Diamondback moth in eastern Africa, IPM of invasive and indigenous fruit flies to name a few. Under his leadership the Center has substantially expanded its R&D across Africa. With an average of more than 100 peer‐reviewed papers published per year by icipe scientists and co‐workers it remains the scientific powerhouse for biocontrol and IPM throughout Africa and the tropics. As Editor‐in‐Chief Borgemeister has transformed the International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, published on behalf of icipe by Cambridge University Press, to become the reference publication on tropical entomology worldwide.
During his tenure at IITA and as a faculty member at the Universities of Giessen and Hannover, Borgemeister trained numerous MSc and PhD students, primarily from developing countries. Today, several of them occupy senior academic positions in universities in Africa, Asia and the USA.

S. K. De DattaOffice of International Research, Education and Development
Virginia Tech University Blacksburg, Virginia, USA
Associate Vice President for International Affairs Director of the Office of International Research, Education, and Development Administrative Principal Investigator for the IPM CRSP
Over his long career, De Datta has contributed in a number of significant ways to plant protection internationally. In the late 1960s, as a young agronomist/weed scientist working at the International Rice Research Institute, he contributed to the Green Revolution by developing the agronomic practices for the semi‐dwarf variety of rice known as IR‐8 which established the Green Revolution in rice because it could produce up to 10 times the yield of traditional rice. He is globally known for his contributions to the management of weeds in modern rice varieties. This included depth of water, time of hand weeding and method of herbicide application. He and his IRRI associates conducted landmark studies on the biological (including weeds, insects and pathogens) and socio‐economic constraints that contribute to the on farm yield gap (potential farm yield –actual farm yield) in rice. He was among the first IRRI scientists to develop collaborative work with Chinese rice scientists in 1976. He summarized much of his research results in a comprehensive book about rice, Principles and Practices of Rice Production, published by John Wiley and Sons in 1981 which is a classic.
He has significantly contributed to the internationalization of Virginia Tech ever since he set foot on the campus in 1991. From the beginning of his tenure at the land grant institution, he has worked to transform it into an internationally renowned center of scholarship and learning. To that end, he has: served as director of what is arguably the largest international development office of any university in the United States; served as chair of the university’s International Strategic Direction Team; spear‐headed the movement to establish five regional Virginia Tech centers around the globe; been a long‐time member of the university’s University Council on International Affairs; served as director of the Graduate Certificate in International Research program, and as member and chair of numerous internationally‐focused university committees and groups. In 2008, Dr. De Datta’s contributions to the internationalization of Virginia Tech were recognized in his appointment as Associate Vice President for International Affairs.
De Datta’s expertise in agriculture and his commitment to improving people’s lives around the world has led him to serve as the Principal Investigator on a wide variety of development projects, including the IPM Collaborative Research Support Program (IPM CRSP), most of them funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, from Ecuador to Mali to Central Asia to the Philippines. The IPM CRSP has successfully developed vegetable pest management strategies for farmers in Asia, Africa , Central America and South America.

GUO Yu‐yuanInstitute of Plant Protection,
Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) Beijing, China
Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering
Associate Vice President of China Society of Plant Protection Associate Editor‐in‐Chief of Agricultural Sciences in China, Scientia Agricultura Sinica
Over his long career, Professor GUO Yu‐yuan has made numerous significant contributions to plant protection, both as a researcher and administrator. He conducted landmark studies on the ecology, biology and distribution of the wheat bulb fly Hylemyia coarctata (Fallen) in China and was the first to develop a management strategy which was transferred to Chinese farmers in the 1970s. He was one of the early proponents of the development of IPM in China. GUO stressed that the progression of integrated pest management (IPM) should proceed in phases and that the IPM system should be established such that the multiple disease and insect pest population complexes are taken into consideration within the whole targeted ecological regions. He also established a series of control strategies and techniques against Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) in the 1990s. His management system was used in large areas in the cotton belts in China. In outbreak years the fields employing his management strategies were in stark contrast to those that did not. His work on the systematics of insect pests and their natural enemies and management strategies resulted in a comprehensive book, Research on Cotton Bollworm (China Agriculture Press, 1998) which is a classic in the field of IPM in China. GUO has also made major contributions in the forecasting of the wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Gehin) and Hylemyiacoarctata, and the application of statistical methods in the of plant protection sciences.
GUO has been involved in plant protection research, the education of plant protection scientists and the administration of plant protection research and development for more than half a century. He has been in charge of or taken part in more than 30 national, provincial/ministerial and NSFC research projects. He is a prolific author and has published more than 300 scientific papers, 23 scientific monographs and translated two monographs, most of which are on the development and innovation of IPM theory and practice in China. He has served as the director of the Chinese Association of Agricultural Science Societies, China Society of Plant Protection and China Entomological Society and has been a long‐time member of the Science and Technology Council, China Ministry of Agriculture and editor‐in‐chief of several periodicals such as Scientia Agricultura Sinica, Acta Phytophylacica Sinica, Agricultural Sciences in China, Plant Protection, etc. His steadfast commitment to plant protection and distinguished work has gained him numerous awards and respect from the highest levels of Chinese government ministries and globally.

Professor Karl Hurle Uninversity of Hohenheim
Stuttgart, Germany .
Past President European Weed Research Society (EWRS) Former Dean and Vice President, Hohenheim University
Prof. Dr. Karl Hurle grew up on a farm in southern Germany and studied agricultural sciences at the Technical University, Berlin and the University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart. The University of Hohenheim is one of Europe's leading universities in the field of agricultural sciences and economics. Food Security is the most important multidisciplinary Research Centre in Agriculture at Hohenheim. Prof. Hurle conducted his PhD studies at the University of Hohenheim Institute of Crop Protection with the late Prof. Bernhard Rademacher, an early European pioneer in weed science. He then spent one year as post doctoral fellow at the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Oregon State University, USA, where he conducted investigations on adsorption of herbicides in soil. Back at the University of Hohenheim he did his habilitation in 1979 on herbicide degradation in soils. In 1983 he became head of the weed science department of the University of Hohenheim. The focus of his research then was on population dynamics of troublesome weed species and the prediction of their future development under given crop production systems. More recent investigations were on the molecular ecology of weeds and the molecular basis of herbicide resistant weeds, and the chemical interaction between crops and weeds (allelopathy). In weed control studies the performance of new herbicides and the efficacy of mechanical methods were investigated in extensive field experiments. A special focus was on weed control in transgenic herbicide resistant crops and possibilities to reduce herbicide rates. Other focal points in his research were ground and surface water contamination and contamination of the atmosphere with herbicides. In the framework of this research 38 young scientists received their PhD degrees and numerous students their diploma. Karl Hurle has organized biannually the German Conference on Weed Biology and Control at Hohenheim University and has edited the conference proceedings. He has published several books including Maize – Weeds, Pests, Diseases. Th. Mann, Gelsenkirchen (1996). Prof. Hurle has been involved in various national and international activities in the field of weed science, e.g. he was president of the European Weed Research Society (EWRS), Honorary member of the Weed Science Society of America and member of the German Phytomedical Society (DPG). Further he has been active in internationally having had consultations with research groups in the USA, Canada, Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, Belarus, Sri Lanka, South Africa and the People’s Republic of China. Among his many awards is the Professor Jozef van den Brande Award, University of Gent, Belgium. Later in his career he served Hohenheim University as Dean and Vice President and was coordinator of the Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS) a European network of Universities for the promotion of student mobility. Although Prof. Hurle retired in 2004 he is still today actively involved in weed science activities.

Prof. Noriharu ken UmetsuOtsuka Chemical Company Ltd Naaruto, Tokushima , JAPAN
Senior Managing Director, Otsuka Chemical Co., Ltd.,
Director on Board, AgriBest Co., Ltd. Visiting Professor, Tokyo University of Agriculture
Guest Professor, East China University of Science and Technology IAPPS Coordinator, Region VII: East Asia
Prof. Umetsu received his Ph.D., Agricultural Chemistry, in 1974, and his M.S, Agricultural Chemistry, in 1971, both from the Tohoku University, Japan where his thesis work consisted of studies on rice blast disease and its associated toxins. Dr. Umetsu was a postdoctoral trainee and visiting scientist in the University of California, Riverside, 1975 ‐1982 where he worked with Dr. T. R. Fukuto. He determined the adverse effect of impurities
existing in technical organophosphorus insecticides, worked on the design of new carbamate insecticides and their mode of action, conducted metabolism studies, and succeeded in commercializing several products for farmer use in cooperation with Otsuka Chemical Co. Ltd. On returning to Japan, Dr. Umetsu continued his research on the development of commercial agrochemicals with Otsuka ChemicalCo. During a 15 year period as research manager and head (Board Director) of the Otsuka Agricultural Chemicals Division, Prof. Umetsu and his colleagues developed six new agrochemicals (insecticides, acaricides and fungicides) and many useful fertilizers for horticulture. One of the most notable was an insecticide, benfuracarb, which waslaunched in 1984 and was commercialized in over 50 countries where it significantly contributed to the field of crop protection and production globally. He also has been involved in development, marketing and extension service of a fungicide, oxpoconazole fumarate, and the insecticides tolfenpyrad and oleic acid sodium salt.
He conducted the early work on an advanced crop production systems and put the new system called “fertigation
system” (computer equipped drip irrigation system for vegetables) into commercial use. During the past 20 years, Prof. Umetsu has actively served on campaigns to enlighten the public on the benefit and safety of agrochemicals.
He is a member of many scientific societies; President of the Pesticide Science Society of Japan 2005‐2007 and Vice President 2001‐2005, conference chair of the 3rd Pan‐Pacific Conference of Pesticide Science held in Hawaii in 2003 and Councilor of the Pesticide Science Society of Japan (1987‐2001, 2007‐present).

Dr. Robert S. ZeiglerDirector General‐ IRRI
International Rice Research Institute Los Baños, Philippines
Dr. Zeigler started his career as plant pathologist in the Burundi Maize program where he developed varietal screening methods for resistance to maize streak virus and the leafhopper vector. The indigenous sources he identified were later used in the breeding program. He later joined CIAT and developed a large‐scale rice blast "hot‐spot" breeding center in eastern Colombia that yielded stable blast resistant rice cultivars to relate
pathogen population structure and resistance breeding strategies. Using anther culture he studied the genetics of blast and RHBV resistance and developed a methodology for mass‐rearing stable RHBV vector (Sogatodes oryzicola) colonies for large‐scale screening for RHBV resistance. His research on the epidemiology of the virus disease helped develop an IPM approach that became widely adopted. He later became leader of the CIAT rice program and restructured it into a multidisciplinary program which integrated breeding, social science and IPM. The Program led CIAT in applying the tools of biotechnology to breeding; first, by using anther culture as both a research tool and as a routine breeding tool; then by using molecular markers to address questions regarding the nature of resistance to the rice hoja blanca virus (RHBV) and rice blast disease. Between 1992 and 1996, he was both a plant pathologist and program leader in IRRI. Besides leading the development of
two Medium Term Plans for the IRRI programs and other management responsibilities, Dr. Zeigler continued to contribute research on the molecular genetics of tolerance to drought and prolonged submergence and resistance to the rice blast disease. He unraveled the processes driving variation in the pathogen (Magnaporthe grisea) and clarified the genetics of blast resistance. This contributed to the development and application of breeding strategies for the development of durable resistance to this notoriously variable pathogen. From 1999‐2004 Dr. Zeigler was Professor and Head, Department of Plant Pathology and Director, Plant Biotechnology Center in Kansas State University where he focused on managing an academic research, teaching and extension department with 28 tenured or tenure track, USDA and adjunct faculty, ~35 ‐ 45 graduate students and ~ 140 persons. The Department also has a well‐established international research program with students and affiliated faculty from over a dozen countries. The Plant Biotechnology Center (PBC) is a University‐wide undertaking to develop multidisciplinary research in plant biotechnology and molecular genetics, with a focus on cereals and leads the development, of the Cereals Comparative Genomics Initiative among US and CGIAR scientists (www.cerealsgenomics.org). In 2004 he became the Director of the Generation Challenge Program of the CGIAR and in 2005 became Director General of IRRI. In his new capacity he developed a new strategic plan that placed emphases on integrating genetic and ecological methods for plant protection.
