The Role of Plant Roots in Crop Production presents the state of
knowledge on environmental factors in root growth and development
and their effect on the improvement of the yield of annual crops.
This book addresses the role of roots in crop production and
includes references to numerous annual crops. In addition, it
brings together the issues and the state-of-the-art technologies
that affect root growth, with comprehensive reviews to facilitate
efficient, sustainable, economical, and environmentally responsible
crop production. Written for plant scientists, crop scientists,
horticulturalists, and soil scientists, plant physiologists,
breeders, environmental scientists, agronomists, and undergraduate
and graduate students in different disciplines of agricultural
science, The Role of Plant Roots in Crop Production: Addresses root
architecture and development dynamics to help users improve crop
productivity Emphasizes crop production, plant nutrition, and soil
chemistry relative to root growth and functions Covers root
morphology, root functions, nutrient and water uptake by roots,
root-soil interactions, root-environment interactions, root-microbe
interactions, physiology of root crops, and management practices to
improve root growth Supports content with experimental results, and
additional data is presented with pictures Increasing food
production worldwide has become a major issue in the 21st century.
Stagnation in grain yield of important food crops in recent years
in developed, as well as developing, countries has contributed to a
sharp increase in food prices. Furthermore, higher grain yield will
be needed in the future to feed a burgeoning world population with
a rising standard of living that requires more grain per capita.
Technologies that enhance productivity, ensure environmental
safety, and conserve natural resources are r
