Description:Improved root systems capable of efficient acquisition of water and nutrients from soils underpin increased efficiency of utilisation of soil resources essential for sustainable intensification of food production.The Roots of Sustainable Agricultural Intensification summarises the state-of-the-art knowledge in theoretical and practical aspects of agricultural management to enhance root system architecture and function that underpin efficient use of water and nutrient resources in various food, feed and fibre production systems.This book will emphasise agricultural measures that enhance root capacity to develop and function under a range of water and nutrient regimes to (i) maximise food, feed and fibre production per unit of resources utilised in the agricultural landscapes and (ii) minimise undesirable water and nutrient losses to the environment. A variety of soil, plant, agronomy, farming systems, breeding, molecular and other aspects are considered.This reference book will provide professionals, researchers, and students with an indepth view of various aspects of root structure and function in intensive agricultural systems, underpinning efficient water and nutrient use in food, feed and fibre production. The book will cover topics related to global economic and social issues related to, or underpinning, agricultural intensification, discuss soil-root interactions from the molecular to the agroecosystem points of view, describe various strategies and mechanisms that underpin increased water- and nutrient-use efficiency, and bring together natural and agricultural systems to emphasise the continuity of traits and mechanisms.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
