The book summarizes present scientific knowledge in plant
physiology with regards to plant production. The authors, mainly
professors of plant physiology at agricultural universities in
Czechoslovakia, present the individual fields of plant physiology
with regard to the demands of agricultural practice and education
of students and doctorani at these universities.
The first chapters discuss metabolism ie. photosynthesis,
respiration, mineral and heterotrophic nutrition, and water regime
of plants. What follows is a discussion of the physiology of plant
growth, development and movements, and finally resistance of plants
against unfavourable abiotic and biotic effects.
The book shows how to increase the yield of crops by manipulating
photosynthesis and also studies the possible flow of photosynthetic
products to the commercially valuable parts of the biomass.
Rational plant production, however, cannot do without knowledge of
plant nutrition and water regime as a theoretical basis for
fertilization and irrigation. The reader will find this knowledge
detailed as well as information about the ecological and
physiological principles of the resistance of plants against
drought, frost, heat, diseases and other unfavourable effects.
