How to Apply for APNI Annual Photo Contest

Category 1: Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms in Crops
Submit your examples of nutrient deficiency symptoms in African crops. Be sure to include a short description that includes the location and any key information or observations related to the image. For example, if you have any background on how the crop was managed, or any results from the lab, please include that in your description for the benefit of others, and to help our evaluation.
Category 2: Plant Nutrition Research in Action
This is a more wide-open category designed to gather on-the-ground examples of plant nutrition and soil health-related research in action for Africa. We are especially looking for images plus descriptive captions that tell us how your scene aligns with one of our R&D themes of 1) Climate & Weather Smart Plant Nutrition, 2) Soil Health & Improved Livelihoods, or 3) Precision Nutrient Management.
