NC State works alongside leading industry, government and academic partners to solve global challenges.
This interdisciplinary showcase is an opportunity to learn what NC State researchers are doing to better understand, model and manage agricultural pests and pathogens, and how partners like you can help bring new strategies, analytics and decision support systems from the lab to the field to advance sustainable
agriculture.
The event will begin with a welcome from Dr. Adrian Percy, Executive Director of NC State’s Plant Sciences Initiative, as well as introductions from each of the featured centers. Research presentations will follow. Our speakers are confirmed and will be shared soon.
