[Lista-Algas] 4th Symposium on Microalgae and Seaweed Products in Agriculture

[Andres Boltovskoy]

Dear Colleague,

we cordially invite you to participate in the 4th Symposium on
"MICROALGAE AND SEAWEED PRODUCTS IN AGRICULTURE" to be held in
Mosonmagyaróvár. The Hungarian and German organisers initiated the first
discussion with this title in 2001 among scientists from different
countries coming from Eastern and Western Europe as well as from other
continents in the field of potential and practical use of algae for
plant and/or soil treatment. The last Symposium included a new session,
a session for animal feeding into the main topics. The main reason was
the progress in using microalgae in animal feeding. This time, a
satellite meeting is initiated, concerning microalgal lipids. Lipids,
especially the polyunsaturated fatty acids are important components of
the food- and feedstuffs. However, the microalgae can also be used as an
efficient tool in decreasing the CO2 emission, as well as a renewable
energy sources.
Presentations about cyanobacteria, microalgae and seaweed, which can
potentially be used in plant treatment and animal feeding, influence the
plant/soil-systems in anyway, or produce a lot of lipids are especially
welcome.
Please attend, present your results and new findings, become acquainted
with our experience in the field of freshwater cyanobacteria and
microalgae for agricultural purposes, and discuss new methods which may
contribute to the environmentally friendly plant production, and to the
progress of animal feeding, as well as to the production of new
renewable energy sources.
