To announce the:

International Symposium on Nuclear Techniques in
Integrated Plant Nutrient, Water and Soil Management

IAEA/FAO Vienna, Austria
16 - 20 October 2000

This FAO/IAEA Symposium will provide an international forum for a
comprehensive review of the present state-of-the-art and recent advances
made in the development of the integrated approach. Contributions are
invited on the themes listed below and should preferably have a new
research-based development component or deal with significant refinement of
isotope and other nuclear-based methods and/or open new fields of
application to investigate/assess the impact of management practices on
sustainable crop production and environmental stewardship.

a)      Soil organic matter dynamics and nutrient cycling

b)      Evaluation and management of natural and manufactured nutrient
sources

c)      Soil water management and conservation

d)      Assessment of soil erosion and sedimentation

e)      Plant tolerance to environmental stress factors

f)      Environmental and pollution studies

g)      Recent advances in isotope analytical methodologies and related
instrumentation.
