Hands-on focus for cotton conference

摘要

There are high profile international speakers and important industry issues to be debated at the Cotton Conference. But it is primarily a research conference, and this year the organisers have put a lot of effort into ensuring as much interaction as possible between researchers and growers. The special hands-on research session on the Thursday afternoon (August 12) will allow access to researchers and extension personnel involved in a wide range of research projects. The hands-on research session will comprise a series of small concurrent group discussions focused on a specific research topic. At each of about 20 different stations, an ACGRA member will introduce researchers and extension team members involved in the research topic, and act as a discussion facilitator.
