Workshop Description
On the afternoon of Sept 25, we had a strategic planning session to develop a strategic vision for IR-4 and program goals.
On Sept 26, we held our priority discussions for Pathology, Entomology, Weed Science projects and for a single project related to biopesticides which cannot be easily accommodated in routine testing protocols. For more details, view the Agenda.
