Covers
various aspects of plant nutrition and the influence of significant factors
as well as those which are considered less important, in plant nutirition.
The role of mineral nutrition in improving agricultural production, yield
and quality amelioration have been highlighted. The book focuses on the
growth, sustainable production, yield and quality which can be limited by
suboptimal conditions such as soil salinity, water supply, fertilization
problems.
This book will be useful to scientists engaged in
research on plant nutrition.
