    Kottayam: The Rubber Research Institute of India will host the 19th biennial Planataion Crops Symposium (PLACROSYM XIX) from december 7 to 10, 2010 at the institute campus, here. The symposium will be inaugurated by Prof Dr.P M Rajan Gurukkal, vice chancellor, Mahatma Gandhi University on

    The symposium is being jointly organised by 13 research institutes and professional bodies associated with various
