The main theme of IPNC 2017 was Plant Nutrition for Global Green Growth. This theme was chosen to highlight that plant nutrients are fundamental drivers for the successful intensification of global crop production, which is required in order to meet the demands of the future bio-based society for nutritious food, feed and raw materials. The themes of IPNC 2017 covered a broad range of topics in plant nutrition and nutrient management. The essence of the presented information is disseminated in this e-book, which we hope will be a valuable source of information for all with an interest in the field of plant nutrition.
Following the very successful boron satellite meetings in 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2013, satellite meetings on boron and manganese were organized from 19-20 August at the Copenhagen Plant Science Centre. These meetings brought together scientists from around the world to discuss recent developments in boron biology and boron in agriculture.
Plenary topic tracks:
- Plant nutrition for global green growth – the future bio-based society (opening session)
- Plant-microorganism interactions and nutrient acquisition
- Nutrient functions in plants
- Nutrient management and fertilizers in crop production
- Nutrient uptake, transport and homeostasis
- Nutrient availability in soils, toxicity and remediation
- Roots and genetics of crop nutrient uptake
- Plant nutrition and food quality
- Nutrient cycling, ecosystems and climate change
- New analytical methods in plant nutrition
- Novel technologies for fertilizers and fertilization
