Providing a link between theoretical and applied aspects of plant nutrition and agriculture, this book introduces new concepts in plant nutrition. It shows how these can be applied in order to assess the nitrogen status in crops and to improve nitrogen nutrition through optimized N fertilization management. In this way economic benefits can be obtained, while at the same time preventing detrimental effects on the environment. The main agricultural crops - grasses, wheat, barley, Durum wheat, maize, sorghum, grain legumes and potatoes - are covered. The book will be an invaluable source for agronomists.
Agro-Ecosystem Diversity: Impact on Food Security and Environmental Quality presents cutting-edge exploration of developing novel farming systems and introduces landscape ecology to agronomy. It encompasses the broad range of links between agricultural development and ecological impact and how to limit the potential negative results. Presented in seven sections, each focusing on a specific challenge to sustaining diversity, the book provides insights toward the argument that by re-introducing diversity, it should be possible to maintain a high level of productivity of agro-ecosystems while also maintaining and/or restoring a satisfactory level of environment quality and biodiversity. Demonstrates that diversified agro-ecosystems can be intensified with environmental quality preserved, restored and enhanced Includes analysis of economic constraints leading to specialization of farms and regions and the social locking forces resisting to diversification of agro-ecosystems Presents a global vision of world agriculture and the tradeoff between a necessary increase in food production and restoring environment quality
This book contains 28 chapters with emphasis on the interactive nature of the relationships between the soil, plant, animal and environmental components of grassland systems, both natural and managed. It analyses the present knowledge and the future trends of research for combining the classical view of grasslands, as a resource for secure feeding of an increasing human population, with the more recent perspective of the contribution of grasslands to the mitigation of environmental impacts and biodiversity erosion as consequences of human society activities. The chapters are organized within five sections dealing with the different functions and the main ecosystem services expected from grasslands: (i) domestic herbivore feeding and animal production; (ii) the regulation of biogeochemical cycles and its consequences for the environment; (iii) dynamics of biodiversity hosted by grasslands; (iv) integration of grasslands within sustainable animal production systems; and (v) interactions of grassland areas with other land use systems at the landscape level.
L’enjeu des agricultures est aujourd’hui de produire en réduisant drastiquement les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, sur des espaces agricoles limités où doivent être préservés la biodiversité, la qualité des ressources, les sols, les eaux, l’air… Cet ouvrage collectif, publié à l’occasion des vingt années d’existence du département Environnement et Agronomie de l’Inra, fait le point sur les avancées réalisées dans ce sens.

L'agronomie a évolué au cours des trente dernières années, en élargissant ses échelles d'approche, en modernisant ses outils de travail et en renouvelant ses objets d'étude. S'appuyant sur une abondante bibliographie, l'ouvrage s'attache à montrer cette évolution en balayant l'ensemble du champ de connaissances que l'agronomie couvre aujourd'hui. L'ouvrage est destiné aux étudiants, aux professionnels et aux chercheurs non spécialistes de l'agronomie, intéressés par une vision panoramique et documentée des évolutions de la discipline. Il est accompagné d'un cédérom reproduisant une centaine d'articles de référence en agronomie.
