Plant Nutrition, Growth and Environment Interaction IV (February 2020)
Welcome to the 4th International Conference on “Plant Nutrition, Growth & Environment Interaction”!
Efficient plant production and yield is highly dependent on understanding of the basic principles underlying the three-way interaction between the plant development, its nutrition and its interaction with environment.
The 4th International Conference “Plant Nutrition, Growth and Environment Interaction” to be held on February 24-25, 2020 in Vienna Austria will review the state of the art and progress in the knowledge of plant growth, plant responses to nutrition and environment and to set research priorities for the next era of research. The Conference program covers a broad spectrum of topics from plant growth, development and nutrition to plant – environment interactions.
This two-days event will provide leading academy and industry scientists a platform to communicate recent advances in “Plant Nutrition, Growth and Environment Interaction”, and an opportunity to establish multilateral collaboration.
The 4th International Conference on “Plant Nutrition, Growth and Environment Interaction” will cover the following research topics:
- Plant-Microorganism Interactions
- Nutrient Availability in Soils, Toxicity & Remediation
- Nutrient Uptake, Transport & Homeostasis
- Nutrient Functions in Plants
- Plant Nutrition, Crop Productivity & Food Quality
Approximately 150 participants are expected to attend this exciting scientific forum including almost 30 lectures delivered by worldwide known invited speakers and young, talented speakers selected from submitted abstracts. The program combines plenary lectures, poster sessions, a unique Conference Dinner Party and sightseeing tours of Vienna.
