2020-22 Journal Papers

Our recent 50th Anniversary celebrated our past and looked to the future... Our thanks to the Symposium's 18 sponsors, 31 speakers & 172 registrants for making it such a success.

Invercargill was to have been the location for the 50th Annual Conference of the Agronomy Society (combined with the Grassland Association and the Society of Animal Production).  This was scheduled for November 2020, but was cancelled as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic.  However, the Society encouraged authors to still submit the written version of their papers which went through the standard editorial process including being referreed by two subject experts.  Authors were to have had the opportunity to present their papers listed below orally at the 2021 Conference also scheduled for Invercargill.  However, this was also cancelled (please refer below).  Finally authors from 2020, 2021 & 2022 will have a further opportunity to present their papers listed below orally at the 2022 Conference still scheduled for Invercargill.
