The first book on crop nutrition that covers topics from soil
hydrology to molecular biology!The first book ever to elucidate so
many different aspects of mineral nutrition of crops, Mineral
Nutrition of Crops: Fundamental Mechanisms and Implications will
allow you to grasp the complexity of the soil-water-plant-microbe
interactions governing nutrient uptake and utilization by crops. By
emphasizing a fundamental mechanistic approach, this book
effectively complements the monograph Nutrient Use in Crop
Production (The Haworth Press, Inc.). With Mineral Nutrition of
Crops you will explore the many facets necessary to increase crop
and pasture yields and minimize unwanted losses of nutrients to the
environment.Mineral Nutrition of Crops covers a wide range of
topics that span several scientific disciplines: agriculture,
agronomy, botany, forestry, ecology, plant science, and soil
science. From this book, you will gain vital knowledge required to
understand the complexity of mechanisms and processes governing
nutrient transport toward roots, including biological and chemical
reactions influencing nutrient availability in the rhizosphere,
uptake by root cells, long-distance transport toward grain, and the
role of nutrients in metabolism. Also, you will explore issues
relating to the following topics: biology and chemistry of nutrient
availability in the rhizosphere kinetics of nutrient uptake by
plant cells role of mineral photosynthesis and yield formation
importance of seed nutrient reserves in crop growth and development
breeding crops for improved nutrient efficiency significance of
root size for plant production monitoring water and nutrient fluxes
down the profile From Mineral Nutrition of Crops , you will gain
the knowledge you need to understand and improve methods of crop
growth and nutrition. Mineral Nutrition of Crops is an
indispensable manual for anyone involved in the many aspects of
growing crops.
