33rd International Carrot Conference
| January 18-21, 2009 Embassy Suites · Anaheim South Garden Grove, California, USA | TO |
The International Carrot Conference is a biennial event that attracts people from private industry, government, and universities from throughout the world. The conference is an excellent way for people to exchange ideas and concerns in all aspects of carrot production. Topics, such as breeding, production, pest management, and new products, will be discussed in formal paper sessions, poster sessions, and a field tour. There will also be ample opportunity to interact with others during the social gatherings. This year's conference is hosted by the University of California Cooperative Extension and the California carrot industry.
California is a major carrot production region. As the headquarters to two of the largest carrot producers in the world, California is a leading carrot production area. The California carrot industry banded together to form the California Fresh Carrot Advisory Board which funds research to address various production problems such as weeds, diseases, nematodes, and plant breeding. With the help of the advisory board, the University of California has become a leader in carrot research. The California Fresh Carrot Advisory Board has also funded projects at other universities and U.S. Department of Agriculture centers.
Events include: Paper Sessions • Poster Sessions • Discussion Sessions • Cultivar Trial • Conference Tour
We hope to see you in Anaheim!
