The colloquium will include research topics on physiological, genetic, molecular, and ecological aspects of plant nutrition, plant-soil and plant-symbiotic microbe interactions, plant quality, soil nutrient dynamics, and nutrient management, for the sustainable development of agriculture and the environment.
It will be hosted by the world-famous University of California, Davis, Department of Plant Sciences. The Colloquium President is Patrick Brown, Professor of Plant Nutrition and Chair of International Agricultural Development Graduate Program at UC Davis.
