First published in 1989, Physiology of Crop Yield was the
first student textbook to digest and assimilate the many advances
in crop physiology, within a framework of resource capture and use.
Retaining the central core of the first edition, this long-awaited
second edition draws on recent developments in areas such as
phenology, canopy dynamics and crop modelling, and the concepts of
sustainable crop production. A broad perspective is developed, from
the gene through the plant and crop to the ecosystem,

Retaining the central core of the first edition, this long-awaited
second edition draws on recent developments in areas such as
phenology, canopy dynamics and crop modelling, and the concepts of
sustainable crop production. A broad perspective is developed, from
the gene through the plant and crop to the ecosystem,
covering:
-
- Advances in molecular biology relating to crop science
- Limitation of crop yield by the supply of water or
nitrogen
- Global climate change and its impact on crop modelling
- Physiological aspects of crop quality
- A wider range of species, with emphasis on wheat, maize and
soybean
This book will be a valuable tool for advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate students of agricultural science, plant science,
applied ecology and environmental science. It will be an essential
addition to all libraries in universities and relevant research
establishments.
