• The Indian Society for Nuclear Tech- niques in Agriculture and Biology will hold an International Symposium on Improving Crop and Animal Productivity by Nuclear and Allied Techniques from February 1 to 4, 1977, in New Delhi, India. The symposium will be multi- disciplinary in nature to ensure maximum par- ticipation of interdisciplinary groups with a view to bringing out new concepts for the solution of specific problems.
Topics will include: 1) production physiol- ogy of cereals, food legumes, and oil seeds in relation to photosynthetic systems and nutrient utilization; 2) efficient use of fertilizers in dif- ferent farming systems; 3) water resources in relation to crop productivity; 4) integrated ap- proach for pest and disease control, including breeding for resistant varieties; sterility tech- nique; epidemiology of seed-borne pathogens; efficient use of pesticides and study of pesti- cide residues in relation to animal and human health; 5) management of animal resources in- cluding fisheries; nonprotein nitrogen utiliza- tion; utilization of feed nutrients for milk and meat synthesis and problems related to breed- ing and reproduction.
