136 Breeding and Managing Perennial Crops for Food, Fiber, and Fuel

Poster Session
ASA Section: Global Agronomy
Several crops are currently being bred to be perennial for a variety of different purposes, including for food, fiber, and fuel. This session will be an opportunity for breeders and agronomists to discuss current research on the breeding and management of perennial crops.
