Advances in Irrigation Agronomy
Examines the factors influencing water productivity in nine key plantation crops in the context of increased pressure on water resources.
Tree Crop Physiology
This book is the result of a recommendation from the plenary session of ``TREE-PHYSINDIA-82'', an international symposium held at the Rubber Research Institute of India, Kottayam, that a publication be brought out presenting information on the methodology adopted for various physiological studies in tree crops. Containing reviews on general physiology as well as detailed information on certain selected tree crops, the choice of topics emphasizes many aspects of tree physiology. The contributed articles in Part A provide an insight into different approaches to studying the physiology of tree crops, with an emphasis on methodology. Part B provides case-histories of physiological investigations on selected economically important tropical tree crops. The volume will provide a valuable source of information and stimulus to scientists involved in the work of tree physiology.
New Crops for Food and Industry
Examining the development of alternative crops, this volume covers topics which include genetic engineering and tissue culture techniques, and marketing potential utility of new crops.
Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 22
Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 22 presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a practical understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops.
Breeding Plantation Tree Crops: Tropical Species
Tree species are indispensable to support human life. Due to their long life cycle and environmental sensitivity, breeding trees to suit day-to-day human needs is a formidable challenge. Whether they are edible or industrial crops, improving yield under optimal, sub-optimal and marginal areas calls for uni?ed efforts from the s- entistsaroundtheworld. Whiletheuniquenessofcoconutaskalpavriksha(Sanskr- meaning tree-of-life) marks its presence in every continent from Far East to South America, tree crops like cocoa, oil palm, rubber, apple, peach, grapes and walnut prove their environmental sensitivity towards tropical, sub-tropical and temperate climates. Desert climate is quintessential for d...
Palm Oil
A timely review of the subject of palm oil, detailing the rapid growth in palm oil availability, its fractionated products (palm stearin and olein), and the increase in production and uses. Provides an account of the past, present and prospective production of palm oil and discusses the growth and production of palm oil fruits and the extraction of crude oil from them. Three sections--Human Food, Animal Feed, and Industrial Uses--review the refining and fractionation of palm oil and consider its many and varied uses.
Oil Crops
When one is privileged to participate long enough in a professional capacity, certain trends may be observed in the dynamics of how challenges are met or how problems are solved. Agricultural research is no exception in view of how the plant sciences have moved forward in the past 30 years. For example, the once grand but now nearly forgotten art of whole plant physiology has given way almost completely to the more sophisticated realm of molecular biology. What once was the American Society of Plant Physiologists’ is now the American Society of Plant Molecular Biology; a democratic decision to indemnify efforts to go beyond the limits of the classical science and actually begin to understa...
