Physiology and Determination of Crop Yield - Tapa dura

Crop physiology as the basis of understanding crop growth, development, and management emerged in the 1950s and 1960s replacing the empirical approaches to crop management of previous decades. Reflecting advances in knowledge and understanding since then, 35 contributions (from a symposium held June 1991, Gainesville, Florida) emphasize the regulation and integration of biochemical processes related to photosynthesis, dinitrogen fixation, C metabolism, N metabolism, nutrient uptake, and organ growth. Crop responses to climate change, air pollution, and ultraviolet irradiance are highlighted. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
