US Scientist Tours China On Germplasm Exchange Mission
Dr. K R Bromfield of the USDA Plant Disease Research Laboratory in Frederick joined a seven member germplasm resources team for a visit to northern China from mid August to mid September. The trip, part of a three nation exchange under a 1970s agriculture pact, covered Heilongjiang to Shaanxi with focus on soybean sorghum millet and vegetables. The team observed germplasm collection and exchange processes, established scientist to scientist contacts, and noted Chinese agricultural science status while several identified Chinese germplasm sources have been sent to the U S for breeding programs.
