Description for The Physiology of Crop Yield
Paperback. * 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. Num Pages: 328 pages, 149 illustrations. BIC Classification: TV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 246 x 190 x 18. Weight in Grams: 608.
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, covering:

Reviews for The Physiology of Crop Yield
"Physiology of Crop Yield would be useful to any scientist who works to integrate and better understand growth, development and yield from a perspective of whole plant physiology. This is a much needed and timely publication." P.V. Vara Prasad, Kansas State University "Hay and Porter have produced an excellent book, well-suited for undergraduate teaching and for those ...
