Author Description
Volume 64 contains six comprehensive reviews covering key contemporary topics on crop and soil sciences. As always, the topics are varied and exemplary of the array of subject matter covered by this long-running serial. With this latest volume, Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized as a leading reference and as a first-rate source of the latest research in agronomy, crop science, and soil science. Cytogenics and genetics of pearl millet Comprehensive look at advances in ICP emission and ICP spectrometry Cotton growth and nitrogen supply Sources and behavior of arsenic in the soil environment Dryland cropping intensification methods How plant roots acquire mineral nutrients
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates the current state of research across diverse sub-disciplines of agronomy to provide a comprehensive synthesis of contemporary agricultural science. Edited by Donald L. Sparks, this serial publication compiles peer-reviewed analyses from leading researchers in the field. The text serves as a technical repository for advancements in crop genetics, soil chemistry, and nutrient management strategies. It functions as a bridge between foundational agricultural theory and modern experimental data.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Analysis of cytogenics and genetics in pearl millet
- Technical review of ICP emission and ICP spectrometry applications
- Examination of cotton growth dynamics relative to nitrogen supply
- Investigation into the behavior and sources of arsenic in soil environments
