Presentation of the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences journals at the MendelNet 2025 student conference

On November 5, the 32nd annual conference of Ph.D. students – MendelNet – will take place at the Faculty of Agronomy of Mendel University in Brno. This is an interdisciplinary student conference that offers a unique opportunity for students and their mentors from fields related primarily to agricultural activities to meet. The primary objective of the conference is to present specific research topics actively, share knowledge, and exchange experiences among participants across disciplines.
The conference is competitive in nature – individual contributions are evaluated by expert juries based on their professional level and contribution to the relevant field.
The journals of the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences are presented at this event in the form of promotional materials. We would like to thank Assoc Prof Ing. Tomáš Vyhnánek, Ph.D., editor of the Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, for his assistance.¨

Pedological Days 2025, Anthropogenically Influenced Soils

From September 17 to 19, 2025, the conference “Pedological Days 2025” on the topic of anthropogenically influenced soils will take place in Most. This conference of the Czech Society of Soil Science and Societas pedologica slovaca is organised with the support of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Forestry and Game Management Research Institute, and Research Institute for Soil and Water Conservation
The conference topic is anthropogenic impacts on the soil environment, which can cause both positive and negative changes in soil properties and can affect soil quality and health or its ability to provide ecosystem services. The conference is located in an area that has long been significantly impacted by open-pit mining of brown coal and its combustion.
The main topics specifics of anthropogenic soils, reclamation in post-mining landscapes, impacts of human activity on forest soils and impacts of human activity on agricultural soils

Promotional materials for the Soil and Water Research journal of the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences are presented at this event. We would like to thank Assoc. Prof. Lenka Pavlů for her help with the promotion.

📢 New Article Alert! 🆕💧
Read this interesting study: "Alternative solution for determining the irrigation water quantity: ETGauge"
by Ismail Tas & Fatih Cem Kuzucu

🌿 Measuring reference evapotranspiration (ET₀) can be difficult and expensive—especially in areas with diverse microclimates far from climate stations. This article explores how ETGauge offers a practical, local alternative for irrigation planning.
