Meeting Highlights

Field trip (March 25)

We will visit UC Davis research facilities, where disease-free plant propagation material is produced, tested, and distributed to California's agricultural producers. The visit will also include a tour of a research orchard station, which features a diverse range of germplasm evaluation plots used for plant breeding and studies on environmental and disease stress. In the afternoon, the attendants will visit two major agro-industrial companies, specialized in plant breeding and innovative disease control products, providing insights into cutting-edge agricultural research and development. More details will be provided as the field trip approaches.
