ISSAG GOALS

Mission

The International Society for Silicon in Agriculture and Related Disciplines (ISSAG) was formed on August 27th, 2014 during the 6th International Conference on Silicon in Agriculture held in Stockholm, Sweden. The wide range of benefits from silicon supplements has extended to many plant science disciplines including; plant physiology, phytopathology (plant diseases), soils, and entomology (insects).


Additionally, research in support of silicon’s benefits has extended beyond agriculture to include horticulture and turfgrass, and even human health. The 131 conference attendees representing 35 countries, agreed that the time had come to form a unified voice in disseminating the knowledge of silicon’s benefits to a wider audience.
