First
published in 1989, Physiology of
Crop Yield was the first student textbook to digest and
assimilate the many advances in crop physiology, within a framework of
resource capture and use. Retaining the central core of the first
edition, this long-awaited second edition draws on recent developments
in areas such as phenology, canopy dynamics and crop modelling, and the
concepts of sustainable crop production. A broad perspective is
developed, from the gene through the plant and crop to the ecosystem,
covering:
* Advances in molecular biology relating
to crop science
* Limitation of crop yield by the supply
of water or nitrogen
* Global climate change and its impact
on crop modelling
* Physiological aspects of crop quality
* A wider range of species, with
emphasis on wheat, maize and soybean
This book will be a valuable tool for advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate students of agricultural science, plant science, applied
ecology and environmental science. It will be an essential addition to
all libraries in universities and relevant research establishments.
