35th EUCARPIA Fodder Crops and Amenity Grasses Section Conference

10.–14. 9. 2023 Brno

David Kopecký, Ivana Frei, Tomáš Vymyslický

The Book of Abstracts of the 35th International Conference of the Fodder Crops and Amenity Grasses Section of EUCARPIA 'Novel technologies, strategies and crops to sustain forage production in future climate' summarizes the latest findings in breeding, ecology, physiology and genetics of forage grasses, clovers and amenity grass species. The book contains over sixty contributions from authors from Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand. We are living in a time of increased climate change, with more frequent occurrences of severe climate catastrophic events, as well as less visible minor climate changes, both of them leading to reduced sustainability of crop, and downstream livestock production. The central theme of the conference is therefore the timely topic of adaptation to climate change. This includes ecological adaptations of plants, but also modifications of breeding approaches, as well as the introduction of new technologies and strategies to successfully combat climate change. The aim of the conference and of the papers summarized in this book of abstracts is therefore to provide the latest information regarding research and breeding of forage and amenity grasses for future climatic conditions.
