CIGR Co-SPONSORED ACTIVITIES

6th International ATW-Symposium "Plant Protection for Wine and Fruit Cultivation"

The Symposium, which is co-sponsored by CIGR and which will be one of the supporting acts during INTERVITIS INTERFRUCTA 2001, will take place from 14-16 May, 2001 in Stuttgart, Germany. The development of new application techniques in fruit and wine cultivation on the one hand and a world-wide growing interest in environmental protection on the other are the reasons why the German Committee for Winegrowing Technique (ATW) wishes to re-discuss and review the results of the symposium on plant protection of 1989.
