Soil Science Americana: Chronicles and Progressions 1860─1960 by Alfred E. Hartemink
English | EPUB | 2021 | 642 Pages | ISBN : 303071134X | 159.9 MB

This book narrates how the study of the soil became a science and institutionalized in the USA between 1860 and 1960. The story meanders through the activities, ideas, publications, and correspondence of people who influenced the progressions, that led to the budding and early blossoming of American and international soil science. Interwoven is a tale of two farm boys who grew up 900 km apart in the Midwest USA in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Emil Truog and Charles Kellogg met in the late 1920s and shared a natural connection to the soil.

Soybean Improvement: Physiological, Molecular and Genetic Perspectives

Soybean Improvement: Physiological, Molecular and Genetic Perspectives by Shabir Hussain Wani, Najeeb ul Rehman Sofi, Muhammad Ashraf Bhat, Feng Lin
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 278 Pages | ISBN : 3031122313 | 27.8 MB

Soybean (Glycine max L. (Merr)) is one of the most important crops worldwide. Soybean seeds are vital for both protein meal and vegetable oil. Soybean was domesticated in China, and since last 4-5 decades it has become one of the most widely grown crops around the globe. The crop is grown on an anticipated 6% of the world’s arable land, and since the 1970s, the area in soybean production has the highest percentage increase compared to any other major crop. It is a major crop in the United States, Brazil, China and Argentina and important in many other countries. The cultivated soybean has one wild annual relative, G. soja, and 23 wild perennial relatives. Soybean has spread to many Asian countries two to three thousand years ago, but was not known in the West until the 18th century. Among the various constraints responsible for decrease in soybean yields are the biotic and abiotic stresses which have recently increased as a result of changing climatic scenarios at global level.

Soil and Crop Sensing for Precision Crop Production

Soil and Crop Sensing for Precision Crop Production by Minzan Li, Chenghai Yang, Qin Zhang
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 331 Pages | ISBN : 3030704319 | 57.9 MB

Soil and crop sensing is a fundamental component and the first important step in precision agriculture. Unless the level of soil and crop variability is known, appropriate management decisions cannot be made and implemented. In the last few decades, various ground-based sensors have been developed to measure spatial variability in soil properties and nutrients, crop growth and yield, and pest conditions. Remote sensing as an important data collection tool has been increasingly used to map soil and crop growth variability as spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions of image data have improved significantly in recent years.

Microbial Cross-talk in the Rhizosphere

Microbial Cross-talk in the Rhizosphere by Benjamin A. Horwitz
English | EPUB | 2022 | 337 Pages | ISBN : 9811695067 | 19.6 MB

This book addresses a very important aspect of microbial ecology that has direct relevance to crop productivity. The soil zone under the direct influence of roots, or rhizosphere, is known for very intense microbial activities that include interactions with plants and other organisms. Many a times, these interactions are very specific and dictated by exchange of signaling molecules, broadly known as the cross-talk. This book covers our recent understanding of the mechanisms of plant-microbe cross-talk in the rhizosphere. In addition, it delves into the subject of how such interactions can influence plant health.
