Past Meetings with Information on Parasitic Plants

Parasite Congress 2007

9th World Congress on Parasitic Plants
June 3 to Thursday June 7, 2007
Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
The Congress brought together scientists representing a wide spectrum of disciplines, research approaches, and geographical representation of parasitic plant research. Assembling specialists with different perspectives, all focused around the common theme of plant parasitism, provided a stimulating environment for learning, exchanging ideas, meeting with old and new colleagues, and making new acquaintances. The Congress included presentations on the cutting edge of parasitic plant research and on management technologies of parasitic weeds.
