In 2007, the first edition of Handbook of Plant Nutrition presented
a compendium of information on the mineral nutrition of plants
available at that time-and became a bestseller and trusted
resource. Updated to reflect recent advances in knowledge of plant
nutrition, the second edition continues this tradition. With
chapters written by a new team of experts, each element is covered
in a different manner, providing a fresh look and new understanding
of the material. The chapters extensively explore the relationship
between plant genetics and the accumulation and use of nutrients by
plants, adding to the coverage available in the first edition. The
second edition features a chapter on lanthanides, which have gained
importance in plant nutrition since the publication of the first
edition, and contains chapters on the different mineral elements.
It follows the general pattern of a description of the
determination of essentiality or beneficial effects of the element,
uptake and assimilation, physiological responses of plants to the
element, genetics of its acquisition by plants, concentrations of
the element and its derivatives and metabolites in plants,
interaction of the element with uptake of other elements, diagnosis
of concentrations of the element in plants, forms and
concentrations of the element in soils and its availability to
plants, soil tests and fertilizers used to supply the element. The
book demonstrates how the appearance and composition of plants can
be used to assess nutritional status and the value of soil tests
for assessing nutrition status. It also includes recommendations of
fertilizers that can be applied to remedy nutritional deficiencies.
These features and more make Handbook of Plant Nutrition, Second
Edition a practical, easy-to-use reference for determining,
monitoring, and improving the nutritional profiles of plants
worldwide.
