Introduction:

Fertilization of agricultural soils with chemical compounds which contain high concentrations of phosphate and nitrogen results in the accumulation of substances that can be dangerous for many live organisms and in many cases, these fertilizers cannot be used by plants. It is considered that around 80% of the phosphate added to soil becomes unavailable to plants. Microorganisms that solubilize phosphate from soil and promote its uptake by plants are known as phosphate mobilizers and are included within PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria). Since phosphorous is the most important nutrient after nitrogen for plant growth, these microorganisms together with nitrogen fixing organisms have a great potential as biofertilizers that can contribute to a sustainable agriculture.

Objectives:

The aim of the First Meeting on Microbial Phosphate Solubilization is to promote a new way of communication, a globalized and interactive one, where experiences, ideas and knowledge flow swiftly and efficiently among scientists, students and industry people desiring to exchange. This Meeting offers the scientific community throughout the world an opportunity to experience presentations covering four main topics:

Taxonomy of PSB

Physiological and Molecular Basis of phosphate solubilization in microorganisms

PSB as biofertilizers

PSB and bioremediation

With the objective of reaching a large audience interested in the role that microorganisms play in the P-cycling, the organizing committee has planned two ways of participating in this Meeting:

An On Site Meeting: which has held in Salamanca (Spain) from 16th to 19th July 2002

A Virtual Meeting: which will be made available via Internet upon registration. The access to the Abstracts will be free. Registration to the Virtual Meeting will be from the 25th of February to 15st of September 2002. The Virtual Meeting will be visited upto 31 december 2002.

Participants

If you wish to participate in the Virtual Meeting, you have to send the registration form and fee application to the Organizing Committee of the Congress in the predicted dates. In order to be able to participate as an author you also have to send a Summary of your work together with your registration form and, then, to present a PowerPoint presentation that will be an original scientific work related with any of the Meeting topics (see instructions in the main page).

Registration fee: Registration is necessary to participate in the On site Meeting. The Registration Form can be downloaded from this site.

The registration fees for On site First Virtual International Meeting are 60 euros

Language: English

Publication: The works to be published as a Proceedings book (published by Kluwer) and the presentations will be send to all authors in a CD-ROM (for more details open the link publications in the main page)

Dates

The Virtual Meeting will be held from 15th September to 31th December 2002.

Deadline for inscription: 15th September 2002

Organization

The abstracts can be freely seen in the link abstracts and presentations from the main page of the Virtual Meeting. To see the presentations in power point and to send your works to the Virtual Meeting you must be registered. The registration can be made on line from the link registration for the Virtual Meeting
