Fertilizer Research Forum
Fertilizer Research Forum
March 18, 2024 - March 20, 2024 | Forth Worth, TX
The FERT Foundation’s Fertilizer Research Forum brings together industry thought leaders and academia to collaborate and encourage innovation in soil fertility science. The Forum provides a platform for researchers to share their most recent findings with industry, agencies, and other academics. Sessions will include updates on projects funded by the Fertilizer Industry through the FERT Foundation as well as research supported by outside sources.
Previously known as the Fluid Fertilizer Forum, The Fertilizer Research Forum is widening beyond fluid fertilizer to include research relevant to the many sectors of the broader fertilizer industry. Projects previously funded by the Foundation of Agronomic Research (FAR) 4R Research Fund and Fluid Fertilizer Foundation will now be presented at The FERT Foundation’s Fertilizer Research Forum.
In addition to research project updates, the Forum will provide the most recent research findings that address our wider industry and global challenges, such as science aimed to improve water and air quality in agronomic systems or research on new products like biostimulants.
The Fertilizer Research Forum is designed to inform attendees on relevant topics in fertilizer research, spur innovative discussion, and bring together our industry’s scientific leaders.
Who should attend?
- Industry Members
- Leaders, Managers, Scientists, & Agronomists
- Academia
- Researchers, PIs, and Graduate Students
- Agency Members
- Researchers/Scientists, Directors
- Media Members
The Forum is a place where public and private industry science and research intersect. The Forum provides opportunities for industry members, public researchers, agencies members, and media members to learning about the pressing scientific issues and exchange ideas.
The Forum is not just for scientists, but for all agricultural industry professionals looking to broaden their knowledge on research that impacts our fertilizer industry and policy makers. Furthermore, the Forum is an excellent opportunity to meet the scientists that publish research that can impact our industry, and the public policy on fertilizer issues.
Come meet the scientists that impact our industry, learn about a new research topic, and take something back to your improve your business.
How many attend?
The Fertilizer Research Forum is a new event to the FERT Foundation and has no past registration numbers. However, the former event held by the Fluid Fertilizer Foundation, the Fluid Forum, brought roughly 120 attendees annually.
