Who We are
The International Society for Silicon in Agriculture Society and Related Disciplines (ISSAG) serves as a unifying body that provides leadership, mentoring, and science based information of silicon in alleviating biotic and abiotic stresses in global cropping systems.
Our Mission
To advance, disseminate and promote the knowledge and use of silicon, based on its benefits to plants, soils, and the environment, so that the global agricultural community may have a better understanding of silicon and its use in sustaining and improving plant function and health.
-
Serve as the global voice advancing understanding and research of silicon in agriculture, promoting its benefits and supporting plant‑focused silicon studies worldwide.
-
Provide an interactive forum for scientific exchange where members ask questions and access expert insights.
-
Disseminate timely information on conferences, symposia, and other opportunities to keep members informed and engaged.
-
Strengthen coordination across the scientific community by shaping symposium themes, building partnerships with established organizations, and unifying silicon researchers.
ISSAG 4 Goals
