Opis

Many agronomic reference titles either focus on a single crop, several related crops, or specific soil topics but not on a full range of both crop and soil subjects. This handbook covers both major agronomic fields. Containing essential data and information on the culture of the world's major agronomic grain, oil, fiber, and sugar crops grown on a wide range of soil types, Agronomic Handbook: Management of Crops, Soils, and Their Fertility serves as a practical reference on the management of crops and soils from planting to harvest.

Recenzje

"Who should own a copy of this handbook? Someone who deals with a broad range of agronomic issues would almost certainly find this book useful. Researchers or students who need fundamental information on a new topic would also benefit from access to this book."
