Coordinated by California Chapter, American Society of Agronomy
Supported by Cooperative Extension, UC Agriculture and Natural Resources
Objective: To promote human welfare through advising the acquisition and dissemination of scientific knowledge concerning the nature, use, improvement, and interrelationship of plants, soil, and the environment.
The annual conference provides an opportunity for students, professionals, and other attendees to increase their knowledge of current topics of agronomic importance in California. Many Certified Crop Advisers and Pest Control Advisers attend the conference to earn continuing education units that are important to their professional standing.
