Crop Physiology Applications for Genetic Improvement and Agronomy in Diverse Cropping Systems

Crop Physiology: Applications for Genetic Improvement and Agronomy in Diverse Cropping Systems, Third Edition, continues to provide updated insights in crop science; the premise is that farmers use two technological menus: varieties, and practices - what to grow and how. Hence, the book finds the relevance of crop physiology in a context of plant breeding and agronomy. This book is written for an audience of researchers and advanced students seeking to understand the fundamentals of crop ecophysiology including the economies of water, nitrogen and carbon, and crop adaptation to soil and climate stresses.
