The International Symposium on Soil and Plant Analysis (ISSPA2023) is a biennial global symposium for scientists, public/private laboratories, government agencies, professionals, and students, to discuss scientific and technological advances in soil/plant analysis. Last ISSPA was held in the Netherlands in 2019. Due to the pandemics, the ISSPA corresponding to 2021 was postponed. The International Governance Committee (IGC) has determined that Chile will host the 17th ISSPA in March of 2023.
