However, it frequently seems like just a few of the nutrients get most of the attention due to their cost or their environmental impacts.  Potassium is too often overlooked as a key component in every successful farming operation.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[IPNI]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 15 Nov 2016 20:32:31 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[2016 Scholar Award Recipients Announced by International Plant Nutrition Institute]]></title><link>http://info.ipni.net/IPNI-3441</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://info.ipni.net/IPNI-3441</guid><description><![CDATA[2016 IPNI SCHOLAR AWARD WINNERS October 14, 2016 – Peachtree Corners, GA, USA -The International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) has selected the winners of the 2016 Scholar Awards.

As in math, we often see response to two nutrients applied together greater than the individual response of each separately.  In other words, “X can be greater than the sum of its parts”.  The same principle applies to strategic partners.  IPNI is successful because of the strategic partners and collaborators we work with.  We are a small organization with 32 scientists working across the globe.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[IPNI]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 25 Aug 2016 16:43:17 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[IPNI Science Award - Nominations Are Due September 30, 2016]]></title><link>http://info.ipni.net/IPNI-3436</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://info.ipni.net/IPNI-3436</guid><description><![CDATA[August 15, 2016 – Peachtree Corners, Georgia, USA – Each year, the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) offers its Science Award to recognize and promote distinguished contributions by agronomic scientists.

These waves are distortions in “spacetime” resulting from huge shifts in mass somewhere in the universe.  According to general relativity, it’s the same phenomenon by which massive objects warp spacetime resulting in gravity.  On February 12, 2016, a journal article was published that reported the physical measurement of gravitational waves.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[IPNI]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 17 May 2016 22:48:27 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frontiers in Potassium Nutrition]]></title><link>http://info.ipni.net/IPNI-3426</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://info.ipni.net/IPNI-3426</guid><description><![CDATA[ <img src="http://www.ipni.net/ipniweb/portal.nsf/0/B8BECE208F75D13485257FA9005F2207/$FILE/intro.png" /> This 174-page, 20-chapter publication includes papers from a 1996 symposium sponsored by PPI-PPIC (IPNI's predecessor) and the American Society of Agronomy.
