Poggendorff Lecture

Royal Society of New South Wales

Description

The Poggendorf lecture covers Agriculture in a broad sense and is intended to be held every 2 or 3 years in honour of Walter Hans George Poggendorff, the eminent Australian agriculturalist and plant (notably rice) breeder and a member of the Royal Society of New South Wales since 1949 until his death in 1981 at the age of 77. He left the Royal Society a bequest out of which this lecture is funded.
