In the past few decades, climate change has become one of the biggest threats to the Earth’s ecosystem and biodiversity. Several environmental stress factors such as salinity and drought have already threatened the viability of sustainable agriculture, an alarm bell to researchers. Soil salinity hampers development through its effects on the morphological, physiological, and biochemical processes associated with plant growth. Drought, on the other hand, affects the productivity of crops. It is anticipated that by 2050, drought will be the leading cause of hampered crop production due to increases in the magnitude of climate change. These changes present a formidable challenge when it comes...
A series of calamities has, in recent years, had an impact on business performance. This book explores strategies and business responses in times of crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic and the hyper competitive market environment have compelled organizations and industries to redraw the limits of their operational and strategic activities. Organizations in emerging markets are facing a great challenge in keeping their businesses afloat in these difficult times. This book offers an insight into how businesses and markets have been affected globally. Focusing especially on emerging countries and markets, it presents an assessment of how they can adapt their strategies to respond to the current trend...
Modern agriculture needs to review and broaden its practices and business models, by integrating opportunities coming from different adjacent sectors and value chains, including the bio-based industry, in a fully circular economy strategy. Searching for new tools and technologies to increase crop productivity under optimal and sub-optimal conditions and to improve resources use efficiency is crucial to ensure food security while preserving soil quality, microbial biodiversity, and providing business opportunities for farmers. Biostimulants based on microorganisms or organic substances obtained from renewable materials represent a sustainable, efficient technology or complement to synthetic c...
This is a solitary attempt to streamline all the possible information related to citrus nutrition, with emphasis on diagnosis and management of nutrient constraints, employing a variety of state-of-art techniques evolved globally over the years . While doing so care has been taken to include peripheral disciplines so that the discussion becomes more lively and authoritative. An entire array of exclusive subjects has been nicely portrayed with the help of latest data and photographs.
This book comprises the select proceedings of the International Conference on Small Satellites and its Applications (ICSS) 2022.
