Until recently the interest of plant physiologists in the structure and function of the root, as compared with the above-ground organs, was rather limited.

Proceedings of the 3rd International Workshop on Biosaline Research, Beer-Sheva, Israel, March 19-23, 1984

Symposium on the Physiology and Bio-Chemistry of Plant Productivity

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Manganese in Soils and Plants held at the Waite Agricultural Research Institute, The University of Adelaide, Glen Osmond, South Australia, August 22-26, 1988, as an Australian Bicentennial Event

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.

Report of an FAO/IAEA/SIDA Coordinated Research Programme on Isotopic Studies of Nitrogen Fixation and Nitrogen Cycling by Blue-Green Algae and Azolla

Rice is the major staple food in Asia, and food security means rice security for most Asians.

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

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.

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

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 in the EEC Programme of Coordination and Research on Effluents from Livestock

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

Proceedings of an International Symposium

Much of the fertilizer nitrogen applied to the soil is not utilised by the crop: it is lost either in solution form, by leaching of nitrate, or in gaseous forms as ammonia, nitrous oxide, nitric oxide or dinitrogen.

Proceedings of a Symposium held in Geneva, January 12-16, 1987

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

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

Given the expected doubling in rice production in Asia, the need to evaluate the interaction between climate change and rice production is critical to forming a sound basis for future directions of technology developments by policy makers, agriculturists, environmentalists, rice producers, and rice consumers.

Extended versions of papers presented in the Symposium on Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Agriculture at the 15th Congress of Soil Science, Acapulco, Mexico 1994
