Presentation of journals at the XXVII Plant Protection Days conference

On November 5, 2025, the journals of the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) were presented at the XXVII Plant Protection Days international conference. Plant Protection Days conference organized by the Czech Plant Protection Society with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic and the Pardubice Region and in cooperation with the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other professional organizations on November 5-6, 2025, at the House of Technology in Pardubice. The conference was attended by phytopathology experts from the Czech Republic and abroad.
The theme of this year's conference was: "Plant Protection = the future of healthy and safe plant production.
The conference featured presentations of the journal Plant Protection Science, as well as other related journals, such as Horticultural Science, Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, and Plant Soil and Environment.
We would like to thank RNDr. Nedělník, Chairman of the Plant Protection Department of the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, for arranging the presentation of the journals at this important industry event.

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.¨

CAAS journals presented at the conference "The influence of abiotic and biotic stressors on plant properties"

On September 17, 2025, scientific journals published by the Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) were presented at the international conference "The Influence of Abiotic and Biotic Stressors on Plant Properties 2025". The conference is organized by the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague in cooperation with the Institute of Forest Ecology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Zvolen. This year's edition of this traditional conference takes place from September 17 to 18, 2025, at the library of the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. The main focus of this year's edition is "Plant responses to current biotic and abiotic stress and the possibility of their elimination."

The main focus was on journals focused on plant production: Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Plant, Soil and Environment, Horticultural Science, Plant Protection Science, and Journal of Forest Science.

The Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences would like to thank František Hnilička, Ph.D., member of the editorial board of Horticultural Science, for presenting the journals to the participants of this international conference and for promoting the journals in the conference proceedings.
