Full Description
Crop Physiology: Applications for Genetic Improvement and Agronomy in Diverse Cropping Systems, Third Edition continues to provide the most comprehensive and current guide to crop science. From breeding and genetic improvements to adapting to climate change and different farming systems, this book offers a practical tool for understanding the relationships and challenges of successful cropping. It also addresses the need for environmentally sound production of food, fodder, fiber, and energy. With its focus on genetic improvement and agronomy, the book is crucial for those involved in modern agriculture.
Additionally, the third edition introduces a new section on crop ecophysiology, providing insights into the latest scientific advances and practical implementations. It discusses challenges like soil and water scarcity, climate change, and sustainable agricultural practices. The book emphasizes the importance of genetic improvements and agronomic strategies for achieving higher yields. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students seeking to navigate the complexities of contemporary agriculture and to meet both quantitative and qualitative production targets.
