The Role of Plant Roots in Crop Production

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Roots have a significant role in crop production. This volume examines root architecture and development dynamics to help plant and soil scientists and those in related fields improve crop productivity. The author emphasizes production, plant nutrition, and soil chemistry relative to root growth and functions. Chapters cover root morphology and functions; nutrient and water uptake; root-soil, root-environment, and root-microbe interactions; and the physiology of root crops. The book also explores management practices to improve root growth. Information in the book is supported by experimental results.
