Thirty-nine titles were presented by 78 authors from eight states.
The annual publication SNA Research Conference Proceedings, from 1991 to 2016, is available on the SNA website at www.sna.org in PDF for viewing, printing or downloading (25 years and 3,079 titles comprised of 12,074 pages). When downloaded, the PDF file is searchable.
The SNA Research Conference, which began in 1956, provides a forum for horticultural researchers to communicate relevant and recent research findings to the industry. Its origin cannot be traced to any one individual, but the roots were planted by several SNA board members that recognized the need to consolidate duplicate research programs throughout the region. From an informal effort of compiling papers gathered from several horticultural research centers and assembled and printed, this two-day conference is held annually and has become world-renowned for quality research. Participants are the top horticultural research and educational leaders from across the county. Hundreds of topics in thirteen categories are shared in presentations that run approximately seven minutes each. A printed agenda and the conference format permits selection of research topics of special interest for those interested in attending. All industry members are invited to attend.
The 62nd Annual SNA Research Conference is scheduled for Aug. 1-2, 2017, and will be held in conjunction with the SEGreen Conference in Athens, Georgia.
