Sinopse
Características

By the year 2050, the worlds population is expected to reach nine billion. To feed and sustain this projected population, world food production must increase by at least 50 percent on much of the same land that we farm today. To meet this staggering challenge, scientists must develop the technology required to achieve an evergreen revolution-one that increases crop productivity without degrading natural resources. With 30 percent new material, the updated and revised third edition of Growth and Mineral Nutrition of Field Crops covers all aspects of crop growth and mineral nutrition that contribute to sustainable, high-yield agriculture. Bringing together international scientific knowledge of crop production and the impacts of agriculture on the environment, this book:Includes two new chapters on remediation of heavy-metal contaminated soils and cover cropsCovers theoretical and practical aspects of mineral nutrition of field cropsProvides recommendations for judicious use of fertilizers, which will reduce cost of crop production and enhance high crop yields without risking environmental pollutionProvides growth patterns for annual crops and foragesIncludes a handful of color pictures of nutrient deficiencies for easy diagnostic purposesTo make the book as practical as possible, each chapter is supported by experimental results and extensive references. A large number of figures and tables are also included to save readers time when researching. The overall emphasis of this reference is on the soils ability to sustain high crop yields and a healthy human population.
