[Nc140] IHC 2018 - Abstract Submission Reminder

[Gregory Reighard]

Dear Colleagues: We have received only two abstracts from NC-140 members thus far.  Really an unimpressive showing from our group.  I have talked to the Turkish Conveners (and ISHS) about visas and refunds of registrations if the visa situation is not resolved by next year. They feel it will but have agreed to refund registration payments up to a point.  I will forward that email to you if you have not received it yet.  I hope to see some of you there and you need not worry as since I am there any problems will follow me not you:)

Regards,

Greg

Dear colleagues, researchers, students, advisors and other professionals!

LAST 15 DAYS FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION !

It is our pleasure to invite you to the International Symposium “Evaluation of Cultivars, Rootstocks and Management Systems for Sustainable Production of Deciduous Fruit Crops”, which will be held under the XXX International Horticultural Congress in Istanbul, Turkey, on 12-16 August 2018.

Today different management systems are developed according to the prevailing ecological and socio-economic conditions. The subject of this symposium rather wide and will include many fruit and nut species as well as many disciplines required for systems approaches to address sustainability of deciduous fruit production under changing economic and climatic conditions. The symposium is expected to gather researchers, growers, nurserymen, and commercial horticulturists together to discuss the latest scientific findings to address current and future challenges to sustainable fruit production. The papers may address different aspects of cultivars, rootstocks or systems evaluation including topics such as economics and management, horticultural engineering, yield quality and quantity.

The symposium is expected to gather circa 150 participants from various sectors composed of scientists, professional horticulturists who will contribute through presenting papers and posters. New cultivars, rootstocks and techniques will be introduced, systems will be discussed and solutions on tree architecture, training, pruning, orchard management systems, or fruit production under protection will be shared. Participants who have common research interests can be promoted to establish new networks especially through the active working groups.

I would kindly remind you that you have 15 days to submit your abstract(s) for the IHC2018. You can submit two abstracts and also be a co-author in others.

Please visit our website (http://www.ihc2018.org/en/S09.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.ihc2018.org_en_S15.html&d=DwMFAg&c=Ngd-ta5yRYsqeUsEDgxhcqsYYY1Xs5ogLxWPA_2Wlc4&r=t_BfmNt1hphRLppbaQBLpcJ3P3gOeUJ8EKlyLgmQWGw&m=UYdiKL7uv03do8ow0x4h2D4y6KUBQu2jlo5K5tMIebg&s=6UVTmo8qli-Y35DNERKSZflv4C88jPy_4yy_uWeEtpE&e=>) to see our keynote speakers and also for any additional information.
