36th International Carrot Conference Program
Monona Terrace Convention Center
Madison, WI
August 15-16, 2013

Explanation of the Sessions

All oral presentations listed below should fit a 15-minute time slot. Speakers, please leave a few minutes for questions and comments if possible; therefore, plan to speak for about 12 minutes. The moderator will stand up after you've spoken for 12 minutes to give you an indication of how much time you have left. Authors: of posters will be available at their posters during two 30-minute periods on Thursday and one on Friday. A breakout session will take place on Thursday afternoon where individuals who would like to participate in more focused discussion on either carrot breeding and pest management, or carrot breeding and genetics, will have a chance to do so. Finally, we will have a brief business meeting at 12:00 on Friday to discuss several items, including the location of the next International Carrot Conference. Thank you all for your participation.

Thank you to our sponsors for their generosity and support:
Bejo Zaden, Nunhems USA, Seminis-Monsanto, ASA-Lift, the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association, Paul Miller Farms, Sumika Agrotech Co. Ltd., Sakata Seed America, and Vilmorin.
