Product Description
The Role of Plant Roots in Crop Production presents the state of knowledge on environmental factors in root growth and development and their effect on the improvement of the yield of annual crops. This book addresses the role of roots in crop production and includes references to numerous annual crops. In addition it brings together the issues and the state-of-the-art technologies that affect root growth with comprehensive reviews to facilitate efficient sustainable economical and environmentally responsible crop production. Written for plant scientists crop scientists horticulturalists and soil scientists plant physiologists breeders environmental scientists agronomists and undergraduate and graduate students in different disciplines of agricultural science The Role of Plant Roots in Crop Production:Addresses root architecture and development dynamics to help users improve crop productivityEmphasizes crop production plant nutrition and soil chemistry relative to root growth and functionsCovers root morphology root functions nutrient and water uptake by roots root-soil interactions root-environment interactions root-microbe interactions physiology of root crops and management practices to improve root growthSupports content with experimental results and additional data is presented with picturesIncreasing food production worldwide has become a major issue in the 21st century. Stagnation in grain yield of important food crops in recent years in developed as well as developing countries has contributed to a sharp increase in food prices.
