Bringing together international scientific knowledge of crop production and the impacts of agriculture on the environment, this book:
To make the book as practical as possible, each chapter is supported by experimental results and extensive references. A large number of figures and tables are also included to save readers time when researching. The overall emphasis of this reference is on the soil?s ability to sustain high crop yields and a healthy human population.
