IUFRO Breeding theory and progeny testing

The CSIR invites you to participate in their annual international short course on Tree Breeding in South Africa.

The year 2006 will see the 13^th in a series of international courses in tree breeding hosted by the CSIR. This course will bring together tree breeders, geneticists, managers and foresters from around the world who are interested in sharing and expanding their knowledge of tree breeding. The course combines theoretical principles with the practical and empowers participants to apply the knowledge to breeding programmes at all levels of development and implementation. Examples from Eucalyptus and Pinus breeding programmes will be discussed.

For more information, please contact the course coordinator between 08h00 and 16h00 (Central African time).
