International symposium and conferences

Soil, Plant and Food Interactions
06-08 September 2011
Department of Agrochemistry, Soil Science, Microbiology and Plant Nutrition Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic

The international conference focuses comprehensively on mutual relations between soil, plant and fertilizers, directed at the production of quality consumables and consumables' raw materials. This fundamental function of agriculture (the production of sufficient quantities of quality, affordable and healthy food) must not be underestimated, namely with regard to the need for the production of healthy, high nutrition value consumables in the future. Nevertheless, it is necessary to respect principles of sustainability, with an emphasis on extraproduction, and the social and environmental dimensions of agriculture. In order to sustain soil fertility, as soil's primary property, the immediate impact comprises particularly microbiological, physical and chemical properties, which can be significantly influenced by human activity. Therefore, the basic and applied research in these fields must focus on gaining new knowledge that will contribute to the higher competitive strength and economy of agricultural farms.

A number of new findings, especially in fields of plant nutrition, soil science and soil, and food microbiology will be presented at the conference by means of oral presentations and posters.
