BENEFICIAL CHEMICAL ELEMENTS OF PLANTS Understand beneficial
elements and their role in the future of botany and agriculture
Beneficial elements are those which, while not essential to plant
life, can provide stimulation and enhance plant growth. Properly
harnessed, these elements can bolster plant growth in the face of
environmental conditions—including drought, nutrient deficiency,
and excessive soil salinity—and biotic stresses like pathogens
and animal activity. As climate change and population growth pose
increasingly serious challenges to agriculture and essential plant
production, it has never been more important to unleash the
potential of beneficial elements. Beneficial Chemical Elements of
Plants is an essential resource for researchers and industry
specialists looking to enhance their understanding of these
elements and the range and variety of their enhancements to plant
growth. Written by leading scholars in the field of plant stress
tolerance and nutrient enrichment, it discusses not only the rich
possibilities of beneficial elements but their mechanisms of action
at both biochemical and molecular levels. It details the precise
potential roles played by each major beneficial element and surveys
a range of elemental responses to specific environmental conditions
and plant stresses. Beneficial Chemical Elements of Plants readers
will also find: Chapters covering beneficial elements including
aluminum, cobalt, sodium, selenium, and silicon Discussion of
application methods and typical plant responses Treatment of
beneficial elements in a wider environmental context Beneficial
element applications to the field of sustainable agriculture
Beneficial Chemical Elements of Plants is a fundamental starting
point for researchers and students in the fields of plant
physiology, crop science, agriculture, and botany, as well as for
professionals in the biotechnology and agricultural industries.
