Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

The NCCC-22 2008 annual meeting was held in Raleigh and Kannapolis, North Carolina at the facilities of North Carolina State University. Prior to the official start of the meeting, participants were treated to a 1-hour tour of the NCSU J.C. Raulston Arboretum led by Timothy F. Alderton, Research Specialist, Dept. of Horticultural Science (tim_alderton@ncsu.edu). This arboretum is a nationally acclaimed garden with one of the largest and most diverse collections of landscape plants adapted for use in the southeastern US. Plants especially adapted to Piedmont North Carolina conditions are collected and evaluated in an effort to find superior plants for use in southern landscapes at the JC Raulston Arboretum (left). The NCCC-22 group was photographed by Dave Caldwell (right photo), and a feature story will appear in NCSUs Perspectives Magazine about NCCC-22s visit to North Carolina, Oct. 21-24, 2008. Introductory Comments and Welcome Barclay Poling introduced Julia Kornegay, Head of the Department of Horticulture, North Carolina State University who welcomed everyone to NC State University. Following lunch, the Small Fruit Crop Germplasm Committee meeting (led by Kim Lewers, USDA) and a Small Fruit IPM Workshop were held concurrently. The Workshop included an overview of the North Carolina small fruit industry by Barclay Poling, followed by discussions of weed and insect control programs and challenges by Hannah Burrack, Katie Jennings and Wayne Mitchem, all of NC State University. NCCC-22 extension and research workers who participated in the IPM workshop were quite interested in learning more about the operation of the Southern Region Small Fruit Consortium (SRSFC). This consortium now has six member states (NC, GA, SC, TN, VA, AR), with the University of Arkansas being the most recent to join. Extension specialists from each of these land grant universities work collaboratively to produce IPM recommendations for strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, bunch grapes and muscadines (available at www.smallfruits.org) Meeting with Administrative Advisor The two groups reconvened at 3:30 pm to discuss potential joint projects. Ron Perry, Administrative Advisor NCCC-22, spoke on the need to give specific examples of the cooperation/achievements of this group relative to the three objectives for the annual report. Researchers can assist by emailing the chair (Barclay Poling) specific examples from the last 5 to 10 years. Also, John Clark and Marvin Pritts agreed to provide assistance to Barclay Poling in developing a Mid-term Review Impact Statement for this coordinating committee. Dr. Perry provided the chair with an example Mid-term Impact Statement just prior to the NCCC-22 meeting in Raleigh. Dr. Perry brought up the benefits of joint projects involving members of this group that could be tracked and developed over time. Members of the group discussed various areas of interest where joint projects may be possible, such as high tunnel production research across North America, coordinated strawberry cultivar/selection trials and potential plant quality problems in strawberries and grapes including somaclonal variation. As this group is one of the most diverse, involving researchers from across the country working in several crops, it was mentioned that cooperative projects within a crop group or area may make more sense. Marvin Pritts suggested that a first step would be to have one day at this meeting where the focus was on the objectives with structured discussions focusing on one topic per objective and the option of adding a 4th objective/discussion (ie somaclonal variation) which could change from year to year. It was suggested that a coordinator for each topic or objective would be important to develop the program and maintain consistency from year to year. The current project for NCCC-22 covers the period October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2011, and in this meeting Dr. Perry indicated that a renewal report will be required 1 ½ years before the next 5 year period (http://nimss.umd.edu/homepages/outline.cfm?trackID=7897). At the end of the day, attendees had an opportunity to evaluate wine from various states including three Muscadine wines from North Carolina. The second day of the meeting, started with a tour of NCSU Centennial Campus followed by the state reports. Reports on small fruit research, industry, and extension activities were given by representatives from AAFC Nova Scotia, Arkansas, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ontario, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington, Wisconsin, USDA-ARS (Beltsville MD, Corvallis OR and NCGR Corvallis OR), and Driscolls Strawberry Associates, Lassen Canyon Nursery and Pacific Berry Research all of California. The RFP for NASGA research proposals was distributed. The third day commenced with travel to the Kannapolis area, the business meeting and a tour of high tunnel strawberry research and bramble research at the Piedmont Research Station near Salisbury. Members were welcomed to the Research Station by superintendent Joe K Hampton. Barclay Poling, Jim Ballington and Gina Fernandez gave the group a tour of their strawberry and caneberry high tunnel trials they are conducting at this location. This was followed by a tour of the NC State Plants for Human Health Institute and the David H. Murdock Research Institute in Kannapolis and discussions with scientists of the NC Research Campus. The meeting concluded with a tour, wine tasting and dinner at the Childress Vineyards followed by the return to Raleigh on the fourth day. Business Meeting Barclay Poling, NC State University called the meeting to order at 10:25 am. Becky Hughes from the University of Guelph in Ontario Canada served as secretary, as Ontario is the host for next years meeting. Old Business: The 2007 minutes were distributed to the group prior to the business meeting. A motion was then made to accept the 2007 minutes by Bruce Bordelon; seconded by Paul Read, and unanimously approved. Ron Perry requires this committees report for 2007/08 by mid-to-late November. Barclay Poling will expand the short report to meet the reporting requirements. New Business: 2009 Meeting in Ontario  The group recommended October 20-22, 2009 for next years meeting. Marvin Pritts recommendation for structured discussions focused around the objectives was discussed. The group agreed that one day of next years meeting should focus on discussion and/or presentations of a topic for each of the objectives (Develop improved small fruit germplasm; Improved production practices; Fruit and human health) with the fourth topic to be decided by the host. Adam Dale was chosen to lead/develop the topic for the first objective with the suggested topic of protocols for cultivar trials and possible coordination of these trials. Kathy Demchak and Eric Hansen agreed to lead the production discussion/presentations on high tunnels. No lead or topic was suggested for the third objective which was left open at this time. Brain Smith agreed to lead/develop the fourth topic, somalconal variation in strawberry cultivars. Time was requested by Kim Lewers for the Small Fruit Crop Germplasm meeting. It was also suggested that viticulture be included in the program or as part of the tour. Barclay Poling agreed to be official chair of the business meeting in Ontario. Southern California was selected as the site for the 2010 meeting. A chair for that meeting will have to be selected in advance as this person should attend the 2009 meeting in Ontario and will also have to supply the secretary for that meeting. Somewhere in the north central part of the US was suggested for 2011 meeting. Florida was also mentioned as a potential site. Ron Perry suggested that the draft proposal for this committee for 2012-2017 needs to be prepared, and that this should include objectives developed by the committee, joint projects and sub-committees to guide the joint projects. The annual report and minutes of the 2008 meeting are due in 50 days (December 1). Researchers are asked to send their annual reports including publications to Hannah Burrack. If possible separate the publication into refereed/peer-reviewed journal articles, books/chapters/review articles, symposia proceedings, extension publications and plant patents granted. Bruce Bordelon moved that a letter be sent extending our thanks to Barclay Poling and the organizing committee for the success of this meeting. The motion was seconded by Chad Finn and approved. Becky Hughes will draft and send the letter. Kathy Demchak motioned that the meeting be adjourned. Chad Finn seconded the motion. The meeting was adjourned at 11:10 am.

As stated in the project outline, this projects purpose is to coordinate activities and encourage collaboration in a commodity area in which the number of researchers is relatively few, making efficient utilization of time and resources a necessity. Interaction at the annual meeting assists greatly in networking and in identifying cooperators with complementary skills and interests, and in varying geographical areas with diverse growing conditions which are useful in experimental testing. Numerous joint projects are an outgrowth of the NCCC-22 project. Collaboration and interaction among researchers in various research areas are listed below and are organized by objective and crop.
