2006 National Canola Research Conference
For the first time in 2006, the NCRC was held in conjunction with the international annual meetings of the American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America and Soil Science Society of America in Indianapolis, Ind. It began with poster viewing on Nov. 13 and ended with oral sessions on Nov. 14 (biofuel/industrial applications and nutrition) and Nov. 15 (agronomy).
