Discussing the latest processes involved in researching yield generation, Wheat: Ecology and Physiology of Yield Determination, and Process will help you design various types of crop production systems for maximum yield. Featuring information on developing high-yielding, low-input, and quality-oriented systems, this book offers you both physiological and ecological approaches that will help you understand the crop as well as increase its production.
