Chili has long been one of New Mexico’s signature crops. It’s the state vegetable and the basis for the official state question: “Red or green?”

辣椒一直是新墨西哥州的標(biāo)志性作物之一。它是國家的蔬菜，也是官方問題“紅還是綠?”的基礎(chǔ)。

會議吸引了育種、加工、病蟲害管理和可持續(xù)方法方面的專家，使種植者獲得競爭優(yōu)勢。會議還將討論該州的辣椒認(rèn)證項目，以及如何增加收成的價值。

Organizers also are inviting students to present their pepper-related research during the two-day gathering.

組織者還邀請學(xué)生們在為期兩天的會議期間展示他們與胡椒有關(guān)的研究。
