Crop Science

This book gives an overview of the technological tools available today that ought to be the staple of all plant breeding programs. An evidence-based approach is taken to show how molecular techniques have been used to imrove a variety of important crops.

This book explores the transformative potential of ML technologies in agriculture. It delves into specific applications, such as crop monitoring, disease detection, and livestock management, demonstrating how AI/ML can optimize resource management and...

Maize is widely cultivated throughout the world due to its high-yield potential. The economic and nutritional value of maize grains is associated with its starch content, protein, fibre, bioactive compounds, and minerals. Maize is used worldwide in the...

The Pomegranate Genome, is a comprehensive resource for researchers, scholars, and enthusiasts in the field of pomegranate research.

This book compiles information on genetic resources and genomics to facilitate the identification of specific germplasms, trait mapping, cropping systems, and genome engineering needed for more effective development of biotic and abiotic stress resistant...

Genome editing offers a powerful tool to significantly accelerate crop-breeding programs in order to develop new and improved varieties. It allows precise modification of an organism's DNA sequence, often by creating targeted double-strand breaks at...

Biofortification is a widely accepted cost-effective agricultural strategy to improve the nutrient deficiency in populations. It is especially useful in low income and developing nations. Strategies for biofortification employ crop breeding, targeted...

Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture: Processes, Strategies, Innovations focuses on new production alternatives that do not include pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals for primary food production and instead rely on biologically...

The research in this book looks at the likelihood and level of use of implemented technological components with regard to the adoption of different precision agricultural technologies. To identify the variables affecting farmers' choices to embrace more...

Amid economic uncertainties, fluctuating oil prices, and a rising environmental consciousness, the need for sustainable and efficient food production is urgent. The Vertical Farm: Scientific Advances and Technological Developments systematically...

Revolutionizing the field of complex system optimization and management, this book introduces the innovative concept of cyber-collaborative protocols (CCP), representing a new approach to managing the complexity of interconnected systems. Departing from...

Water stagnation and submergence are major factors in rice growing. Water stagnation and submergence happen as a result of excessive rainfall or flash floods. The duration of submergence can last several weeks, and the level of water may be as high as...

Cereals like wheat, rice, maize, and barley have long been the dominant crops in agriculture, providing a significant portion of our food supply. Plant breeders and geneticists have always been interested in improving the yield and quality of cereals...

Amid economic uncertainties, fluctuating oil prices, and a rising environmental consciousness, the need for sustainable and efficient food production is urgent. The Vertical Farm: Scientific Advances and Technological Developments systematically...

The fight against global hunger demands a fresh perspective. Lesser-known legumes, often called 'potential pulses', can play a pivotal role. These underutilized powerhouses, including adzuki bean, bambara groundnut, faba bean, cowpea, grass pea and horse...
