After being invited to give an oral presentation on his research “Predicting Key Phenological Stages for Grapevines – A Simple but Scientific Approach for Management and Site Selection”, Washington Statue University AgWeatherNet student Hector Camargo approached WWIF with a request for travel funds assistance to attend Hortimodel – a prestigious international symposium in France on models for plant growth, environment control and farming management in protected cultivation. The WWIF Board approved funds for Hector to attend, where he learned new ideas to evaluate and calibrate his model and was awarded first place in the Poster Awards! Congratulations, Hector!
