Abiotic Stress and Plant Physiology - Vol.02: Productivity: Productivity (Hardcover): Amitav Bhattacharya Abiotic Stress and Plant Physiology - Vol.02: Productivity: Productivity (Hardcover)

Abiotic stress factors frequently constrain the growth and productivity of major crop species. The single greatest abiotic stress factor that limits crop growth worldwide is water availability. While genetic increases in yield potential are best expressed in optimum environments, they are also associated with enhanced yields under drought and nitrogen deficiency. These gains are especially relevant given that further large increases in the area under irrigation are not expected, and land deterioration associated with intensive agriculture threatens those areas already irrigated. This book is intended to cover all known factors of abiotic stresses and their respective effects on some of the important aspects of physiological processes in plants.1. Abiotic Stress and Crop Yield 2. Physiology of Grain Legume Yield Under Abiotic Stress 3. Photosynthesis and Physiological Parameters Under Intercropping Condition 4. Role of Growth Regulators Under Abiotic Stress 5. Plant Water Relationship Under Abiotic Stress 6. Dry Matter Partitioning Under AbioticS tress 7. Effect of Pesticides on Physiological Processes in Plants

Nutraceuticals in Livestock and Poultry (Hardcover): Amitav Bhattacharya Nutraceuticals in Livestock and Poultry (Hardcover)
Amitav Bhattacharya
R1,974 Discovery Miles 19 740 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Today, nutraceuticals have been recognized as any natural product, food or dietary supplement that provides medical or health benefits including the prevention of diseases. Keeping these aspects in view, the book covers different types of Nutraceuticals used in livestock and poultry, their role, mode of application, advantages and disadvantages if any. In 1, the concepts of feeding nutraceuticals have been discussed and classified into several groups. 2 presents feeding of antibiotics to poultry and livestock species and how it has been gradually replaced by different feed additives preferentially called as nutraceuticals. 3 to 8 deals with different nutraceuticals often fed to poultry and livestock like probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes, organic acids, fatty acids and phytobiotics. The s introduce and classify the corresponding nutraceutical agents and then present a detail discussion on its efficacy as a feed ingredient, mode of action, specific rate of inclusion in the diet.

Changing Climate and Resource use Efficiency in Plants (Paperback): Amitav Bhattacharya Changing Climate and Resource use Efficiency in Plants (Paperback)

Changing Climate and Resource Use Efficiency in Plants reviews the efficiencies for resource use by crop plants under different climatic conditions. This book focuses on the challenges and potential remediation methods for a variety of resource factors. Chapters deal with the effects of different climatic conditions on agriculture, radiation use efficiency under various climatic conditions, the efficiency of water and its impact on harvest production under restricted soil moisture conditions, nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency, nitrogen use efficiency in different environmental conditions under the influence of climate change, and various aspects of improving phosphorus use efficiency. The book provides guidance for researchers engaged in plant science studies, particularly Plant/Crop Physiology, Agronomy, Plant Breeding and Molecular Breeding. In addition, it provides valuable insights for policymakers, administrators, plant-based companies and agribusiness companies.

Effect of High Temperature on Crop Productivity and Metabolism of Macro Molecules (Paperback): Amitav Bhattacharya Effect of High Temperature on Crop Productivity and Metabolism of Macro Molecules (Paperback)

Effect of High Temperature on Crop Productivity and Metabolism of Macro Molecules presents a comprehensive overview on the direct effect of temperatures defined as "high", a definition which increasingly includes a great number of geographic regions. As temperature impacts the number of base growth days, it is necessary to adapt plant selection, strategize planting times, and understand the expected impact of adaptive steps to ensure maximum plant health and crop yield. Global warming, climate change and change in environmental conditions have become common phrases in nearly every scientific seminar, symposium and meeting, thus these changes in climatic patterns constrain normal growth and reproduction cycles. This book reviews the effect of high temperature on agricultural crop production and the effect of high temperature stress on the metabolic aspects of macro molecules, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, secondary metabolites, and plant growth hormones.
