Opis

The present monograph is first of its kind providing valuable information on experimentation involving effect of some essential micronutrients like manganese, zinc, copper, boron and molybdenum on uptake and growth in micropropagated plantlets of three potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes belonging to different maturity groups, namely Kufri Chandramukhi (early), Kufri Jyoti (medium) and Kufri Sindhuri (late) with reference to tolerance vis-à-vis toxicity. Over forty tables, ten figures and four plates have been included to enhance the value of the compendium significantly. Hopefully, the information contained would be an invaluable asset for students, researchers, teachers and scientists in traditional and agricultural universities, plant breeding, biotechnology, crop improvement and plant genetic research institutions and policy makers. No botanical library should be without it.
