Book Synopsis Plant Nutrient Disorders by : A.K. Sarkar
Download or read book Plant Nutrient Disorders written by A.K. Sarkar. This book was released on 2015-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is difficult to forecast the serious consequences of damage to soil health on plants, animals and human beings. Agricultural soils across the globe are affected by erosion, degradation, nutrient depletion, pollution, organic matter decline and faulty management practices. This has resulted into 'Plant nutrient disorders' due primarily to imbalances, interactions, deficiencies or toxicities of one or more plant nutrients. Quality of irrigation water and environmental stress has a profound influence on this process. The present book provides an insight into the reasons for occurrence of such nutrient disorders, methodologies to monitor soil, plant, water and environment and ways to diagnose the problem through analytical and instrumental techniques. Widespread occurrence of secondary and micronutrient deficiencies in soils have resulted into low uptake of these nutrient ions by plants with adverse impact on human and animal health. Continuous cropping without due care of efficient soil and water use, have resulted in poor crop performances with low yields in many areas. This book attempts to provide answers to some pertinent questions on the subject i.e. I. Why plant nutrient disorders occur? II. Whether these are site or crop specific? III. How best one can diagnose the problem, by adopting sound analytical techniques? IV. What are the major concerns? V. How best one can manage such disorders to sustain soil health for crop production? Implementing scientific soil management programme requires good team work among scientists, extension workers & field staff with governmental support and farmer's participation. It is hoped that this book written in a simple language will be very useful for the students and teachers of Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Fisheries & allied disciplines.

Book Synopsis Nutrient Deficiencies of Field Crops by : Prakash Kumar
Download or read book Nutrient Deficiencies of Field Crops written by Prakash Kumar. This book was released on 2013-12-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrient imbalance in soils is an emerging threat to sustainable agriculture: intensive cultivation, use of poor quality groundwater, depletion of soil organic matter and excessive use of fertilizers are major reasons for poor soil fertility worldwide. This necessitates correct diagnosis of plant nutrient deficiencies to avoid further use of pesticides in cases where pests or pathogens that are not in fact the cause of poor crop health. Richly illustrated with 600 colour photographs, this book is a visual field identification guide for symptoms of most common nutrient deficiencies in field crops, covering all their stages of occurrence. Detailed descriptions and suggested for management practices are given with each entry.

Book excerpt: The book on Nutritional and physiol-ogical disorders in crop plants deals with Classification of plant nutrients according to relative requirements for plant growth, their biochemical behaviour, physiological function, functional basis of elements; functions and importance of various plant nutrients; predisposing factors for the occurrence of nutrient deficiencies; diagnosis of plant deficiency symptoms in cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fibers, sugars, fruits, vegetables, flowers, plantation crops and narcotics covering 43 crops with photographs of symptoms; commonly occurring physiological disorders in selected crops, and remedial measures. The book will be useful to the undergraduate students of Agriculture & Horticulture to update their knowledge on nutritional and physiological disorders in crop plants. It will also provide a suitable basis for those engaged in the profession of Agriculture viz., extension functionaries & farmers.
