7th International Symposium on Soil Organic Matter, 06/10/2019–11/10/2019, Adelaide, SA, Australia
A simultaneous increase in crop yield and improvement of soil health are key challenges of cropping intensification under rice-based cropping systems. A long-term experiment was commenced in 2007 at Gazipur, Bangladesh to determine nutrient management strategies that sustain soil fertility, increase cropping system productivity and overcome agronomic and soil constraints for successful crop production in a rice-based triple cropping system on a Grey Terrace soil.After 11 years of cropping under organic amended nutrient application, the soil organic matter (SOM) stocks (0-15 cm) increased by 6.3 tonnes ha-1 compared to initial SOM stock, while the control soil and the soils treated with only chemical fertilizers had decreased SOM (by 1.6 and 1.1 tonne ha-1, respectively). Most of the chemical properties of post-harvest soil were improved due to the incorporation of organic manures through IPNS. The highest yield of crops and improved soil properties was associated with increased soil organic matter content in soils under the treatment.

Workshop on Minimum Tillage Unpuddled Rice Transplanting (MTURT)
Workshop on Minimum Tillage Unpuddled Rice Transplanting (MTURT), 16/09/2015–17/09/2015, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh
Two years research data reveals, CT produced about 30% higher weed density and 40% higher biomass compared to ST. Spraying PE followed by PO performed the best over single of each and manual weeding which reduced density by 40% in 2014 and 50% in 2015 and biomass by 70% in both the year. Mulch reduced weed density by 20% in 2014 and 16% in 2015 and biomass by 27% and 34%, respectively. There was no significant yield difference between CT and ST but in association with weed control and mulching practices, tillage types offered significant yield variation. ST kept WF yielded the highest which was 30% higher in 2014 and 23% higher in 2015 over control. The highest BCR of about 50% higher over control was calculated from ST sprayed the PE followed by PO in both the year. Mulch increased crop yield and BCR by 4% and 9%, respectively. The highest and about 30% higher grain over the interaction of CT without mulch was yielded from the interaction of ST kept WF retained 50% mulch. The highest BCR of 40% higher over CT without mulch was calculated from the interaction of ST sprayed PE followed by PO retained 50% mulch.

3rd International Symposium on all Aspects of Plant and Animal Boron Nutrition, 10/09/2005–13/09/2005, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China
Boron is one of the essential micronutrients for higher plants growth and development, and more and more studies have been conducted to establish boron as an essential element in animals and humans.
This book reviews all aspects of boron research in recent years and is based on the Third International Symposium on all Aspects of Plant and Animal Boron Nutrition which was held in Wuhan, P.R. China. The following issues are discussed:
• boron sorption mechanisms in soils
• deficiency and toxicity of boron
• boron fertilizer application
• basic research on the physiology and molecular biology of plant boron nutrition
• the nutritional function of boron in animals and humans
This book is aimed at scientists, Masters or PhD students focusing on boron research field. Furthermore, it provides managers involved in agricultural production with an important reference to recent developments in boron nutrition research.
