Description of event:
International Conference on Agricultural & Horticultural Sciences
The International Conference on Agricultural & Horticultural Sciences during September 14-15, 2012 at Hyderabad International Convention Center, India.
Agriculture is the basis of human civilization and plays a major role in every economy. The ever growing population and constant demand for food have greatly increased the need for technological improvements and sustainable production in agriculture industry.
The upcoming Agri-2012 conference offers a unique opportunity to address
current issues and overcome barriers in agriculture production. The conference seeks to invite participants from universities, institutions and companies around the world for both oral and poster presentations.
This two-day event will provide an overview of the currently accepted and newly emerging techniques in the fields of both agriculture and horticulture.
Conference includes the following topics (but not limited to):
• Agronomy and Soil Sciences
• Crop Breeding and
Genetics
• Plant
Biochemistry and
Physiology
• Crop Protection and
Management
•
Tissue Culture and Plant
Biotechnology
• Agricultural Engineering and Technology
• Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness
• Horticulture and Floriculture
• Forestry
• Sustainable Practices for Agriculture
International Conference on Agricultural & Horticultural Sciences, with the theme "Scientific principles and contemporary issues in Agriculture and Horticulture", warmly welcomes you to attend and participate in the conference sessions.
