192 Symposium--Innovative Approaches and Technologies in Soil and Crop Management - Decades of China-US Collaborative Research

Oral Session
ASA Section: Global Agronomy
Food security and achieving sufficient agricultural production are long standing and on-going challenges in China, but much progress has been achieved through collaborative research and development efforts of US and Chinese scientists. This symposium provides a forum for scientists from US, China, and other parts of the world to exchange information and experiences, and discuss issues, regarding new approaches and technology applicable to China's needs. In addition, we are interested in the successful collaborative programs that have high impact on China's agricultural development.
