The third most important cereal crop after wheat and corn, rice is
a staple food for more than half of the world's population. This
includes regions of high population density and rapid growth,
indicating that rice will continue to be a major food crop in the
next century. Mineral Nutrition of Rice brings together a wealth of
information on the ecophysiology and nutrient requirements of rice.
Compiling the latest scientific research, the book explains how to
manage essential nutrients to maximize rice yield. The book
examines 15 essential or beneficial nutrients used in irrigated,
upland, and floating rice across a range of geographic regions. For
each mineral, the text details the cycle in the soil-plant system
as well as the mineral's functions, deficiency symptoms, uptake in
plants, harvest index, and use efficiency. It then outlines
management practices, covering application methods and timing,
adequate rates, the use of efficient genotypes, and more. The
author, an internationally recognized expert in mineral nutrition
for crop plants, also proposes recommendations for the judicious
use of fertilizers to reduce the cost of crop production and the
risk of environmental pollution. Color photographs help readers
identify nutrient deficiency symptoms and take the necessary
corrective measures. Packed with useful tables and illustrations,
this comprehensive reference guides readers who want to know how to
increase rice yield, reduce production costs, and avoid
environmental pollution from fertilizers. It offers practical
information for those working in agricultural research fields, in
laboratories, and in classrooms around the world.
