Crop Physiology Case Histories of Major Crops uniquely presents the challenges and potential solutions for environmentally sound crop production using a crop-focused approach. This standardized approach allows not only crop-specific expertise, but facilitates cross-crop comparison for potential application and future research. The evolving challenges of increasing demand for crop production, whether for food, fodder, fiber or energy require careful consideration of resource use. As water scarcity, land-use concerns, and social aspects of sustainability factor increasingly in decision making, understanding the power of crop physiology in contributing to agricultural production continues to be of major importance. With contributions from leading scientists from around the world, this book will assist in the improved crop health and yield.
