In tropical developing countries farmers tend to grow a wide range
of crops in a small area for subsistence or sale. To make full use
of often limited resources a good understanding of how
environmental conditions affect the characteristics and performance
of these crops is essential. This book considers the response of
tropical food crops to environmental factors such as climate, soil
and farming system. Three types of crop are considered; cereals,
legumes and non-cereal energy crops, with individual chapters on
the four most important crops in each group. This material is set
in context by introductory chapters on tropical farming systems,
tropical climates and tropical soils. This updated edition retains
the successful formula of the first edition, and will serve the
needs of advanced students of tropical agriculture, as well as
professionals engaged in research and extension work in tropical
crop production.
