Hosted by the Division of Basic Sciences & Humanities, Faculty of Horticulture, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir — bringing together scientists, academicians, researchers and industry to bridge fundamental plant physiology with practical horticultural outcomes.
Ensuring food and nutritional security, enhancing crop productivity, mitigating the impacts of climate change, and reducing post-harvest losses while promoting environmental sustainability all require a deeper understanding of the plant physiological processes that regulate growth, resource-use efficiency, stress tolerance, and quality enhancement.
This National Conference is directed at capturing significant contributions to horticulture across these themes — recognising past contributions and laying a roadmap for future fundamental research in plant physiology that translates into practical outcomes for horticulture.
