The VI. International Crop Protection Congress in Vienna 1967 sees itself as a scientific contribution to the fight against hunger in the world through a more efficient maintenance of the crops of humans. The FAO created the International Plant Protection Convention. Moreover, since 1967, the European and Mediterranean phytosanitary organization of 40 countries has existed in Europe. As a symbol of the objectives of plant protection, a brand-wide plant pest was chosen for the brand motif - the Colorado potato beetle. His control is an economically very important plant protection measure. From his home North Armerica, he was introduced to Europe, where he spread quickly. The pest, a one-centimeter-long beetle, and its larvae infest potatoes, tomatoes and other crops.
