Opis

Soybeans are one of the most widely-grown crops in the world. As the world's main source of vegetable protein, they have a wide range of food and non-food uses. Current yields need to increase significantly to meet growing demand but in a way that reduces input use, does not damage the environment and is resilient to climate change. This collection reviews the wealth of research addressing this challenge.

Volume 2 reviews advances in understanding and managing the range of diseases and pests that continue to cause significant crop losses. Part 1 discusses fungal, viral and bacterial diseases as well as developments in disease-resistant varieties, integrated pest and weed management.

With its distinguished editor and international team of authors, this will be a standard reference for sorghum scientists, growers, government and non-government agencies supporting sorghum cultivation. It is accompanied by a companion volume that reviews advances in breeding and cultivation techniques.
