    SNA Research Conference Overview:
    The SNA Research Conference, which began in 1956, provides a forum for horticultural researchers to communicate relevant and recent research findings to the industry. Its origin cannot be traced to any one individual, but the roots were planted by several SNA board members that recognized the need to consolidate duplicate research programs throughout the region. From an informal effort of compiling papers gathered from several horticultural research centers and assembled and printed, this two-day Horticultural Research Conference is held annually and has become world-renowned for quality research. 

    Who Can Participate?
    Top researchers and educational leaders from leading universities will present their newest discoveries relative to horticulture. While most contributors are from the SNA region, all researchers, growers and allied industry members who have new knowledge to share are encouraged to participate. Hundreds of topics in thirteen categories will be presented. Presentations are approximately seven minutes each and are concise and easy to understand. The conference format allows you to sit in on all or only those topics of interest to you.

    Research presented at the conference is published in the annual publication "SNA Research Conference Proceedings" contained on this website.  Proceedings from 1991 - 2012 are available with 2,872 titles comprised of 11,208 pages. Take a look... there's lots of useful information!
