Biostimulants for sustainable crop production
The first comprehensive review of key advances in biostimulant research Covers key groups of biostimulants: humic substances, seaweed extracts, protein hydrolysates, silicon, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) Discusses key advances in research and practical applications of biostimulants in the field
Global tea science
Reviews the latest advances in understanding tea genetics and genetic diversity and how this has informed advances in conventional, marker-assisted and transgenic breeding techniques Summarises current best practice in cultivation techniques and the control of pests and diseases Focuses on assessing the environmental impact of tea cultivation
Pesticides and agriculture
Discusses the competitive strategies of the major pesticide companies Identifies the main forces driving the pesticides industry Explains the evolution of the pesticide industry as a context for understanding its future development
Improving standards and certification in agri-food supply chains
Considers a range of techniques used for measuring compliance and improving performance across the agri-food supply chain, including those used to measure on-farm carbon footprints and biodiversity Provides a useful and comprehensive context to the role of governments and other food safety agencies in setting safety, quality and sustainability standards for global agri-food supply chains Reviews the key issues in developing voluntary standards, focussing on those encountered during the development of robust carbon-neutral and biodiversity offsetting certification schemes
Sustainable production and postharvest handling of avocado
Collates over 30 years’ worth of research into sustainable avocado production by one of the most prominent experts in the field Provides a comprehensive overview of the avocado supply chain and how key elements of this value chain can be optimised to improve avocado production Reviews the nutritional value and potential health benefits of avocado, as well as its application in medicine, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics
Advances in poultry genetics and genomics
Particular focus on improving functional traits needed for more resilient poultry breeds Comprehensive coverage of key advances in genomic selection and their practical application in breeding improved breeds of layers and broilers Looks forward to emerging trends such as the use of epigenetics and genome editing
Optimising pig herd health and production
Summarises the wealth of research on optimising pig herd health for increased protection against major diseases, including ASF and PRRS Reviews recent advances in understanding gut function and immunity in pigs, including the development of nutritional strategies to boost immune function and resistance to disease Explores key challenges facing pig production, including breeding disease resistant pigs with a narrowing genetic base and the development of fungicide resistance
Understanding and improving the functional and nutritional properties of milk
Comprehensive coverage of the latest research in isolating and analysing the diverse range of compounds in milk Reviews the genetic factors that affect milk composition, as well as the ways milk chemistry can affect sensory quality Explores the importance of milk as a valuable commodity
Achieving sustainable cultivation of bananas Volume 2
