This scientific meeting will be the first ISHS symposium devoted exclusively to cucurbits. It will provide a golden opportunity for the cooperation and exchange of information among scientists from all over the World.
Cucurbits are of great economic importance and have a long tradition of cultivation in Turkey.
May is the beginning of the growing season for the majority of cucurbit vegetable crops and is therefore an excellent occasion to visit the cucurbit production areas nearby Adana while enjoying the pleasant weather at this time of the year.
