Call For Papers - CFP

The conference will highlight new technologies and approaches to produce high quality vegetable for a better human health. Advanced technologies such as sensor devices, machinery, precision agriculture and smart farming are currently being adopted to enhance vegetable production. These technologies strengthen the efforts taken by the breeders and horticulture scientist to improve crop yield and quality.

Call for Papers

In conjunction with SEAVEG 2019 theme 'Advancing Vegetable Technology for Higher Productivity and Better Human Health', papers of relevant topics are invited for oral and poster presentations. Abstracts of 200 to 250 words will need to include names of authors, their institutions, country and contact email addresses. All abstracts will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and authors will be notified if they have been assigned to an oral or poster presentation session. Authors are requested to submit a full paper (ABSTRACT, INTRODUCTION, MATERIALS and METHODS, RESULTS and DISCUSSION and REFERENCES) in English, and to include figures, tables and photos in black and white (minimum of 8 pages and maximum of 10 pages) in Microsoft Word for Windows.
