Welcome Letter

Dear colleagues

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 8th International Herbage Seed Conference to be held in Lanzhou, Gansu China from 21st to 24th, June 2015. The theme of the conference is “Herbage Seed, Environment and Life” and will include following five topics:

(1) Genetics and breeding;

(2) Seed production: achieving high yield and environmental sustainability;

(3) Endophyte utilization and pest control;

(4) Seed quality: from field to storage; and

(5) Seed production in developing countries, and extension, technology transfer and training.

Following the oral and poster presentations related to the above five topics, we will arrange a post conference field trip to Hexi Corridor, Gansu province, the most important seed production region in China. We will visit seed production farms, companies, research experimental trials, and diverse agricultural systems during the field trip. We hope this conference not only to provide a unique platform for discussion of seed science and technology, but also to give you a whole picture of the herbage seed industry in China.

Our Local Organizing Committee will try its best to prepare a good program and to make good arrangements for your visit.
