Proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Genetic Aspects of Plant Mineral Nutrition, June 19-24 June, 1988, Braunschweig, Germany

The steadily increasing cost of nitrogen fertilizer has resulted in more emphasis on basic and applied studies to improve nitrogen use efficiency in lowland rice.

Proceedings of a Symposium, held in Lome, Togo, March 25-28, 1985

Proceedings of the First International Symposium on Foliar Fertilization, organized by Schering Agrochemical Division, Special Fertilizer Group, Berlin (FRG), March 14-16, 1985

Symposium on the Physiology and Bio-Chemistry of Plant Productivity

The large and rapidly expanding body ofliterature related to nitrogen cycling in both managed and native terrestrial ecosystems reflects the importance accorded to the behaviour of this vital and often limiting nutrient.

Proceedings of a Meeting of the IUFRO, Working Party on Root Physiology and Symbiosis

The idea of addressing the problem of the genetic specificity of mineral nutrition at an international level arose four years ago in a proposal for this topic to be included in the program of the II Congress of the Federation of European Societies for Plant Physiology (FESPP) as a separate section.

Proceedings of the Workshop on Frankia Symbioses, Wageningen, The Netherlands, September 5-6, 1983

Proceedings of the International Conference on Effects of Crop Rotation on Potato Production in the Temperate Zones, held August 14-19, 1988 Wageningen, the Netherlands

The discovery of the reduction of acetylene to ethylene by nitrogenase provided the ideal answer to the problem by provid ing a rapid, specific, nondestructive, and inexpensive assay for nitrogenase activity.

Proceedings of an International Symposium, June 9-12, 1987, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden

It has long been recognized that soil organic matter is the key to soil fertility. But it has another property, the nature and extent of which have been the subject of argu ment and controversy ever since scientists began to study the soil, and that is its ability to affect growth directly, other than by providing nutrient elements.

Plenary Lecture of the XIV International Plant Nutrition Colloquium: Food Security and Sustainability of Agro-Ecosystems through Basic and Applied Research

During the next 30 years, farmers must produce 70% more rice than the 550 millions tons produced today to feed the increasing population. Rice suffers from a mismatch of its N demand and N supplied as fertilizer, resulting in a 50-70% loss of applied N fertilizer.

Proceedings of a Workshop held at the Institute for Soil Fertility Research, Haren, the Netherlands, June 5-6, 1990

This Fertilizer Manual was prepared by the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) as a joint project with the United Nations Industrial Development Organi zation (UNIDO).

Ultimate success in exploiting the genetic capabilities of plants to grow in nutrient-stressed environments of the semi-arid tropics (SAT) requires a holistic view of food systems to ensure that genetic selections for improved yields on nutrient-poor soils will actually be adopted by farmers.

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Biological Nitrogen Fixation Associated with Rice, held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, November 28-December 2, 1994

Proceedings of a Workshop held at the University of Michigan Biological Station, Pellston, Michigan, U.S.A, May 29--June 2, 1993

Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on Nitrogen Fixation with Non-Legumes, Florence, Italy, September 10-14, 1990

Over forty years ago, concern was first focussed on cadmium contamination of soils, fertilisers and the food chain. Since then, substantial research data have accumulated for cadmium on chemistry in soils, additions to soils, uptake by plants, adverse effects on the soil biota and transfer through the food chain.

Proceedings of an International Symposium on Management of Mycorrhizas in Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry, held in Perth, Western Australia, September 28--October 2, 1992
