Authors of posters are strongly encouraged to prepare and submit a manuscript for Acta Horticulturae.

Presenting authors of abstracts accepted for presentation (both oral/poster) must register for the symposium. Failing to register for the symposium will result in your abstract being withdrawn from the symposium program and your manuscript being withdrawn from the Acta Horticulturae symposium proceedings.

Failing to present (oral/poster) at the symposium will result in your manuscript being withdrawn from the Acta Horticulturae symposium proceedings.
