Born of the pressing need to improve crop yield worldwide, The Use of Nutrients in Crop Plants presents a comprehensive review of essential crop nutrients. It provides information on nutrient uptake, discusses methods to improve crop productivity without degrading the environment, and includes authoritative coverage of experimental results regarding macro- and micronutrients. Offering extensive tables and figures, the text compiles data on agricultural production, organic and inorganic fertilizer consumption, maximization of nutrient use, and improvement of efficient crop yield.
