In November 1990 Indo-American Hybrid Seeds (IAHS), one of the largest
and very innovative horticultural enterprises of its kind in India,
celebrated its silver jubilee year in the town of Bangalore, India. On
the occasion of this silver jubilee of IAHS an International Seminar on
'New Frontiers in Horticulture' was organized from 25-28th of November
1990 at the Ashok Radisson Hotel in Bangalore. IAHS was almost fully
responsible in terms of organization and financially for this
International Seminar. Assisted by an International Scientific Advisory
Board, the organizing committee, all members of the company IAHS, really
did a great job. I would like to thank in particular Mr. Mammohan
Attavar (the company's founder) and Mr. Sri N.K. Bhat (partner of the
company), respectively chairman and treasurer of the organizing
committee, for their organizational and financial support in organizing
this conference. Very special words of thanks go to my colleague editor,
Dr. Jitendra Prakash, Secretary Organizing committee and Director of
Biotechnology - IAHS, who was really the spill in the whole organization
of our very successful conference.
