To feed and sustain this projected population, world food production must increase by at least 50 percent on much of the same land that we farm today. To meet this staggering challenge, scientists must develop the technology required to achieve an \"evergreen\" revolution--one that increases crop productivity without degrading natural resources. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 30 percent new material, the updated and revised third edition of\u003cstrong\u003e Growth and Mineral Nutrition of Field Crops\u003c\/strong\u003e covers all aspects of crop growth and mineral nutrition that contribute to sustainable, high-yield agriculture.
