International Plant Nutrition Institute Transfer Programs to Other Organizations

The International Plant Nutrition Institute will transfer its programs to three other organizations. The announcement follows a vote last week by the organization’s board of directors to transfer key scientific assets and programs to The Fertilizer Institute, Fertilizer Canada and the International Fertilizer Association. The three organizations will receive enhanced support for initiatives in 4R nutrient stewardship, regional agronomic extension, and engagement with the scientific community, policymakers, NGO's and other stakeholders, according to a news release. The final transfer of assets, including the closing of IPNI's Atlanta, Georgia headquarters and regional offices will be effective on June 30, 2019. IPNI Canada will continue to operate from its office, and the Foundation for Agronomic Research will remain the umbrella organization for the 4R Research Fund.
