To Participants:

Thank you for the tremendous response to the Call for Presentations for the X International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds. The Program Committee has reviewed all submissions. The submitted oral presentations have been sent to the Session Leaders for final review and selection. As indicated in previous communications, the time slots available for oral presentations are very limited. We expect feedback from the Session Leaders by March 22nd at which time the Program Committee will notify each participant regarding the final selection of papers for oral presentation. To accommodate you in this process, we have moved the deadline for the submission of abstracts to April 15^th. Abstracts must be submitted via the WEB page to facilitate the publication of the program booklet. Submission forms and instructions will be posted to the WEB page as soon as possible. Please contact Nancy Rush (406.433.9417 / nrush@sidney.ars.usda.gov) with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Robert M. Nowierski
