The burgeoning demand on the world food supply, coupled with concern over the use of chemical fertilizers, has led to an accelerated interest in the practice of precision agriculture. This practice involves the careful control and monitoring of plant nutrition to maximize rate of growth and yield of crops, as well as their nutritional value. The Handbook of Plant Nutrition provides a readily accessible source of highly current and reliable information on the nutritional requirement of the most significant crops being cultivated worldwide. Int their introduction, the editors provide an overview of plant nutrients and beneficial elements, explaining the diagnostic criteria and research approaches currently being applied. What then follows are twenty chapters, each one dedicated to an essential macro or micronutrient or beneficial element. BOOK COVER
