Details the physiological, agronomical, and environmental factors needed to maintain or increase the productivity and sustainability of agricultural systems. Addressed to scientists in the agriculture industry, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students, rather than to farmers. Explores the basic principles of crop production systems, both soil and plant aspects; presents experimental results; describes how the various factors effect plant growth, and the differences between regions, crops, and cultivars; and considers the socioeconomic conditions of the farmer. The perspective is global. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
