Mineral nutrition of crops: Fundamental mechanisms and implications
Spanning disciplines from agriculture and botany to molecular biology and soil science, this volume is promoted as the first to cover the complexity of the soil-water-plant-microbe ecology governing nutrient utilization by crops which must be optimized to meet the challenge of feeding a projected population of eight billion in 25 years.
A dozen globally-contributed chapters proceed from the cellular and single plant profile to consider issues in breeding disease-resistant crops, soil chemistry and microbiology, hydrology, and modeling (with mechanistic favored over empirical models).
