Description

In the face of global challenges such as climate change, population growth, and food security, understanding and optimizing crop nutrition has never been more critical. Crop Nutrition addresses these urgent issues by providing an in-depth exploration of how effective nutrient management can enhance soil health, boost food production, and contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The book delves into key aspects of crop nutrition, covering the essentials of nutrient management, the role of primary, secondary, and micronutrients, and innovative practices for sustainable agriculture. Each chapter provides comprehensive insights into various nutrients, their functions, and their impact on plant growth and soil health. The text also highlights case studies and success stories from different regions, showcasing practical applications and advancements in crop nutrition. Further, the book emphasizes the importance of integrated nutrient management approaches, such as the use of biofertilizers, nano-fertilizers, and organic amendments. Special attention is given to innovations from the Global South, demonstrating how developing countries are leading the way in sustainable agricultural practices. By integrating scientific research, practical strategies, and global success stories, this book serves as an essential resource for students, researchers, agronomists, policymakers, and agricultural practitioners. It provides the knowledge and tools needed to enhance crop productivity, improve soil health, and ensure sustainable food systems. It not only addresses current agricultural challenges but also paves the way for a resilient and food-secure future, making it a valuable asset for anyone involved in the field of agriculture.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
