Crop Nutrition: Principles and Practices

Description

Crops need nutrients for satisfactory growth and quality production. Isotopes help improve crop nutrition and identify crops well-adapted to low soil fertility or particularly efficient at utilizing nutrients. This is crucial to optimize yield and quality and to improve the crops’ resilience to climate change. The improved management of crop nutrients can enhance the bio-availability of macro- and micro-nutrients in crops and grains, a prerequisite for satisfactory crop growth and optimum quantity and quality yields. This book will be useful to the students, researchers and teachers in agronomy, soil science, plant physiology, microbiology, horticulture, vegetable science, floriculture, microbiology and agricultural extension and others interested in crop production.
