The meeting will be held May 15–19, 2011 at Alnarp, Sweden.
The primary topics of the meeting are:
Environmentally sound horticultural production Threats of human and plant pathogens in horticultural production chains Microbial quality of horticultural growing media Horticultural production systems as biofactories Mushroom cultivation -
Recycling and bioremediation in connection to horticultural production systems
