IPNI Science Award The IPNI Science Award was established by the IPNI Board of Directors in 2006. Its purpose is to recognize and promote distinguished contributions by scientists involved with global ecological intensification as related to crop production. Ecological intensification is defined as development of high-yield crop production systems that protect soil and environmental quality and conserve natural resources. Characteristics of ecological intensification include yields achieving near potential top levels, high efficiency of nutrient use, and appropriate management of soil nutrient stocks and organic matter. The Award is to be presented each year to one agronomic scientist. The recipient receives a plaque and a monetary award of US$5,000.00 (five thousand dollars). There must be a minimum of three nominations for the award to be issued. A recipient is not eligible to receive the Award more than once. The Criteria A committee of noted international authorities will select the recipient of the Award on an annual basis. The Award recognizes outstanding achievements in research, extension, or education which focus on efficient and effective management of plant nutrients and their positive interaction in fully integrated crop production that enhance yield potential. Such systems improve net returns, lower unit costs of production, and maintain or improve environmental quality. Private or public sector agronomists, crop scientists, and soil scientists from all countries are eligible for nomination. The Nomination The format for preparation of nominations for the Award is outlined in the attached PDF document, 2008 IPNI Science Award.pdf found below. Length of nomination should not exceed three pages plus the attached letters as described. Size of pages should be the standard 8½ x 11-in. size used in the U.S. or A4 paper for international nominations. Nominations must be submitted in English. Past Winners 2007: Dr. Milkha Singh Aulakh of Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), India. >more... |
