Achieving Sustainable Cultivation of Rice Volume 2
Volume 2 reviews ways of improving cultivation of rice, from planting to soil management, nutrition and irrigation as well as techniques such as integrated crop management. It also discusses key pests and diseases and methods for their control in making cultivation more productive and sustainable.
Achieving Sustainable Cultivation of Rice Volume 1
This collection reviews advances in breeding techniques as well as improving traits such as flood or drought resistance. It also discusses advances in understanding the nutritional role of rice and ways this can be enhanced to feed a growing population.
Rice Biology in the Genomics Era
There are few more emotive, or important, crops in the world than rice – the staple food for a huge proportion of the world’s population. This volume presents the latest results of research in crop improvement as well as in molecular and cellular activities in rice. It consists of 26 chapters and is divided into the following four sections: Genome-wide and genome-based research; Signal transduction and development; Evolution and ecology; Improvement of rice.
Achieving sustainable cultivation of rice Volume 1
Reviews developments in understanding and protecting genetic diversity in rice, and how this translates into marker-assisted and other developments in breeding; Discusses advances in breeding varieties with enhanced properties such as high yield and drought tolerance; Summarises current research on understanding and improving nutritional properties such as vitamin and mineral content
Achieving sustainable cultivation of rice Volume 2
Summarises advances in cultivation practices to close yield gaps, including more efficient irrigation and nutrition techniques; Discusses innovative methods of ‘climate-smart’ cultivation such as integrated crop management and the system of rice intensification (SRI); Reviews the latest research on insect pests, weeds and integrated pest management
Achieving sustainable cultivation of sugarcane Volume 2
Covers key advances in breeding, including conventional, marker-assisted and transgenic breeding techniques Summarises key advances in understanding bacterial, fungal and viral diseases of sugarcane Assesses best practice in integrated disease, pest and weed management
Rice insect pests and their management
Covers almost 100 species of the most important insect pests affecting rice cultivation Brings together the key research on each pest, including description and biology and effects on rice plants Written by a team of leading entomologists with experience of rice pests in Asia, Africa, the United States and Latin America Includes over 150 photographs and images
Integrated weed management for sustainable agriculture
Summarises latest research on IWM principles and methods Assesses current challenges facing herbicide use Detailed review of the range of cultural, physical and biological methods of control available for IWM.
Critical issues in plant health: 50 years of research in African agriculture
Focuses on plant health issues in sub-Saharan Africa which are key to improving yields Reviews ways of improving the health of key African crops such as cassava, maize and grain legumes Brings together leading experts on plant health in sub-Saharan Africa
Assessing the environmental impact of agriculture
Assesses current best practice and methodological issues in life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology for agriculture Looks in detail at particular types of environmental impact such as nutrient Reviews the environmental assessment and optimization of sectors such as crops, ruminant and other livestock production as well as by-products.
