Maize is among the most widely spread and widely used crops of the
world, used for cereals for over 4 billion humans, as food for farm
animals, and as a source material for biofuel production. Yet there
are relatively few books on the cropping system of this important
crop. This book, Maize Agroecosystem, is a concise treatise dealing
with agronomy, soil fertility, and productivity of maize. The
information is global in nature and considers recent developments
in all maize cropping belts. The "global maize agroecosystem" is a
conglomerate of several "maize cropping belts" that flourish on
different continents. The impact of nutrient management on the
productivity of maize agroecosystems is the main focus of this
book. The book includes the history of maize growing, the kinds of
soil needed, nutrient dynamics, the use of soil organic matter, the
physiology and genetics of maize, and integrated nutrient
management. It presents comprehensive knowledge regarding the
physicochemical dynamics of the three major nutrients: nitrogen,
phosphorus, and potassium. Also covered is how fertilizers impinge
on soils of maize farms and their impact on soil and groundwater
quality. The impact of crop genotype on soil nutrient dynamics and
productivity is also highlighted. The information provided here
will be highly useful to students at colleges and universities in
the fields of agricultural sciences and environmental science and
ecology, and the book also functions as valuable resource for
researchers and professors in crop science. Several figures and
tables are included that describe and summarize the impact of
various agronomic/fertilizer management procedures on crop
productivity.
