IPNI Crop Nutrient Deficiency Photo Contest—2012



The International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) is continuing its sponsorship of its plant nutrient deficiency photo contest during 2012 to encourage field observation and increase understanding of crop nutrient deficiencies.

“We hope this competition will appeal to practitioners working in actual production fields,” said IPNI President Dr. Terry Roberts. “Researchers working under controlled plot conditions are also welcome to submit entries. We encourage crop advisers, field scouts, and others to photograph and document deficiencies in crops.”

Some specific supporting information is required for all entries, including:
  • The entrant’s name, affiliation, and contact information.
  • The crop and growth stage, location, and date of the photo.
  • Supporting and verification information related to plant tissue analysis, soil test, management factors, and additional details that may be related to the deficiency.

Photos and supporting information can be submitted until December 11, 2012 (5pm EST) and winners will be announced in January of 2013. Winners will be notified and results will be posted at www.ipni.net.
