About this book
Larger amounts of nutritious food are required to feed the growing world population, which is a great challenge due to water shortages and reduced crop plant yield. To overcome this issue, there must be improvement in crop plant production systems. Agricultural Crop Improvement: Plant and Soil Relationships addresses key issues of crop plant yield and production, with molecular and physiological interventions to evolve future strategies that will overcome these challenges faced by the agricultural sector.
Features
- Investigates modern and traditional agricultural techniques, including nanomaterials, nanosensors, genetic engineering, molecular breeding, nutrient and plant hormone interactions, microbiome engineering, soil enzymes, biostimulants, and intercropping
- Explores how technologies and scientific advancements from biotechnology, information technology, and environmental science are revolutionizing sustainable farming practices
Agricultural Crop Improvement: Plant and Soil Relationships is a valuable source of information for researchers and extension workers involved in sustainable crop plants improvement and practices, and a useful resource for students and scientists working on aspects of agriculture, botany, plant science, crop physiology, crop biotechnology, and microbiology.
