CORESTA Congress 2022

Online


After the success of the 2021 "virtual" Conferences, where more than 800 participants took part, CORESTA is pleased to announce the 2022 CORESTA Congress Online starting on Monday, 10 October 2022 until Friday, 28 October 2022.

The Congress will be composed of daily, 2-hour sessions or workshops (1 pm to 3 pm CET) focused on a specific topic area with pre-recorded 10 to 12 minutes oral presentations followed by a live Q&A with the presenters.

Making full use of the flexibility offered by the virtual environment, do not hesitate to take part and to contribute to the quality and diversity of the scientific programme by submitting one or several abstracts.

Scientists and students who do not have the opportunity to travel and present at international events are particularly encouraged to report on their research results.

 

CALL FOR PAPERS
 

The  AGRONOMY & LEAF INTEGRITY AND PHYTOPATHOLOGY & GENETICS STUDY GROUPS  wish to encourage the submission of papers including, but not limited to, the following subjects:

• Sustainability in tobacco leaf production, such as reforestation and biodiversity, curing fuel sustainability, water resources, Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), soil conservation, improving efficiencies, crop production practices, farmer and field technician education, social and economic issues.
• Low nicotine, such as variety development, genetics, agronomic practices, economics.
