Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

As stated in the project outline, the purpose of this project is to coordinate activities and encourage collaboration in a commodity area in which the number of researchers is relatively few; they need to use their time and resources efficiently. Interaction at the annual meeting allows the researchers to network effectively and identify cooperators with complementary skills and interests, 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.
