Crop Physiology

Applications for Genetic Improvement and Agronomy

Herausgegeben: Calderini, Daniel

Beschreibung

Never before has a holistic approach to sustainable agriculture and plant physiology been presented in one source. This book compiles a multi-authored and international perspective on the ways in which crop physiology could be integrated with other disciplines. With a focus on genetic improvement and agronomy, this book addresses the challenges of environmentally sound production of bulk and quality food, fodder, fiber and energy, which are of ongoing international concern.

Autor

Dr. Victor O. Sadras is a crop ecophysiologist with expertise in the adaptation of crops to environmental stresses, including water deficit, extreme temperatures, nutrient deficiency, soil physical and chemical constraints, pathogens, and insects. He has studied and modeled aspects of the water, carbon, and nitrogen economies of annual crops (wheat, field pea, chickpea, sunflower, maize, soybean, cotton) and perennial crops (grapevine and olive) in rain-fed and irrigated systems.

Rezensionen

"This volume is a compilation of 21 reviews, ably edited and presented in three parts as Farming System, Capture and Use of Resources and Crop Physiology.The scale The book contains a great deal of useful information." --Experimental Agriculture

"This book provides deep and detailed study of the latest research problems in crop physiology for breeders, geneticist, ecologists, ecophysiologists and physiologists; therefore, this book is recommendable to practitioners of, all those who want to implement the most recent advances in crop technology. Moreover, this textbook is a valuable reference for physiology and agronomy students." --Acta Physiologiae Plantarum
