From climate change to farming systems to genetic modification of organisms, Crop Physiology, Second Edition provides a practical tool for understanding the relationships and challenges of successful cropping. With a focus on genetic improvement and agronomy, this book addresses the challenges of environmentally sound production of bulk and quality food, fodder, fiber, and energy which are of ongoing international concern. The second edition of Crop Physiology continues to provide a unique analysis of these topics while reflecting important changes and advances in the relevant science and implementation systems. Contemporary agriculture confronts the challenge of increasing demand in terms o...
Crop Physiology: Case Histories of Major Crops updates the physiology of broad-acre crops with a focus on the genetic, environmental and management drivers of development, capture and efficiency in the use of radiation, water and nutrients, the formation of yield and aspects of quality. These physiological process are presented in a double context of challenges and solutions. The challenges to increase plant-based food, fodder, fiber and energy against the backdrop of population increase, climate change, dietary choices and declining public funding for research and development in agriculture are unprecedented and urgent. The proximal technological solutions to these challenges are genetic im...

Amb vent favorable, la distància des de Gaeta podia salvar-se en tot just una jornada. Després d'haver rebut la benvinguda en el vell castell que custodiava l'entrada del Reame, les galeres que transportaven als virreis cap a la seua nova destinació, s'endinsaven en la regió de la rondalla, habitada dels déus i solaç d'antics emperadors. Nàpols es trobava en un dels llocs més bells del món que, ja des dels temps que era una colònia grega, havia exercit una irresistible fascinació en els seus visitants. Gràcies als virreis, Nàpols es va convertir en una pedrera d'artistes que van treballar intensament per a la corona espanyola, i sobretot, en el pont a través del que la gran cultura d'Itàlia va arribar a la cort de Madrid i va proporcionar la forma per a modelar la imatge pública dels monarques. La mirada italiana.
This book offers a comprehensive and state-of-the-art source reference for understanding the functions and mechanisms responsible for yield and quality determination under a range of conditions. By uncovering relationships and challenges of successful and scalable crop management and breeding, this volume addresses the challenges of environmentally sound production of bulk and quality food, fodder, fiber, and energy which are of ongoing international concern. Contemporary agriculture and crop management confronts the challenge of increasing demand in terms of quantitative and qualitative production targets. These targets have to be achieved against a background of climate change, including soil and water scarcity and higher temperatures, and the environmental and social aspects of agricultural sustainability. This book views crop production as an active source of methods, theories, ideas, and tools for application in genetic improvement and agronomy.
