Crop Physiology: Applications for Genetic Improvement and Agronomy in Diverse Cropping Systems (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780443302084)

Crop Physiology: Applications for Genetic Improvement and Agronomy in Diverse Cropping Systems, Third Edition, provides updated perspectives on crop science at the interface of plant breeding and agronomy. It builds on the premise that farmers rely on two key sets of tools: varieties (what to grow) and practices (how to grow). Within this context, crop physiology plays a central role in guiding both breeding strategies and agronomic decisions.

This edition is designed for researchers and advanced students interested in the fundamentals of crop ecophysiology, including the use and efficiency of water, nitrogen, and carbon, as well as crop adaptation to environmental stresses such as heat, frost, drought, waterlogging, phosphorous, and biological nitrogen fixation. The volume brings together region-specific insights, with detailed chapters on physiological traits and processes that underpin crop performance and productivity in diverse systems.
