Crop Physiology: Applications for Genetic Improvement and Agronomy in Diverse Cropping Systems, Third Edition, continues to provide updated insights in crop science; the premise is that farmers use two technological menus: varieties, and practices – what to grow and how. Hence, the book finds the relevance of crop physiology in a context of plant breeding and agronomy. This book is written for an audience of researchers and advanced students seeking to understand the fundamentals of crop ecophysiology including the economies of water, nitrogen and carbon, and crop adaptation to soil and climate stresses.

Key Features

Features expert insights from a team of editors and authors from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Provides a view of crop physiology as a source of theories and methods to inform genetic improvement and agronomy.

New to this Edition:

Introduces rice-based cropping systems of SE Asia; cereal-based and high-value perennial cropping systems in Spain; and crop-livestock-forestry farming in Brazil.
Updates aspects of the water, nitrogen, and carbon economy of crops.
New chapters on heat, frost, waterlogging, phosphorous, and biological nitrogen fixation.
A new section on integration in a context of sustainability.
