It is with immense pleasure that, we welcome you on behalf of the Indian chapter of
Asian PGPR Society for Sustainable Agriculture to the 8th Asian PGPR National Conference
“Beneficial Microbes for Integrated Plant Health Management” scheduled to be held from
September 19-21, 2023, at the University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bengaluru.
This conference is being organized by the University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot in collaboration with the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru (UASB), University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad (UASD), Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur (UASR), Kelladi Shivappa Nayaka University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences, Shivamogga (KSNUAHS), Indian Phytopathological Society (IPS) and ICAR-IIHR, Bengaluru.
As PGPR associated technologies are currently experiencing a dramatic increase, research on the interactions between PGPR and crops has become vital and is considered to play a key role for the future of sustainable and organic agriculture. This focused event pays tribute to the growing significance of biofertilizers, bio-fungicides, bio-stimulants, bio-herbicides and bio-nematicides etc, while identifying newly emerging technologies in the league. Hence, we cordially welcome you to join us and witness the advances in agriculture on “PGPR strategies to support next generation green revolution in food production” at the 8th Asian PGPR National Conference.
In this conference, we bring together the academia, researchers,
entrepreneurs, policy makers, progressive farmers and government officials comprising a
core team of technical experts from across India to deliberate and understand the
strengths and weaknesses in developing PGPR associated technologies for use by farming
communities across the country. The outputs would form a strong foundation in addressing
the issues of global food security.
