Islands of Intensive Agriculture in Eastern Africa: Past and Present
ISBN: 9780852554289 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book reveals complex agricultural methods and dynamic farming strategies which evolved long before colonial intervention or recent development projects. These indigenous systems created spectacular landscapes, with terrace walls to conserve the soiland hill-furrow irrigation to supplement low or seasonal rainfall, thus allowing intensive exploitation of all usable land. Mulch or animal manure were applied to boost fertility on regularly planted fields. Labour, communal tasks and the allocation of land and water required social organisation and the use of sanctions. The studies examine...

Adaptation in Plant Breeding: Selected Papers from the XIV Eucarpia Congress on Adaptation in Plant Breeding Held at Jyväskylä, Sweden from July 31
ISBN: 9780792340621 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Plant adaptation is a fundamental process in plant breeding. It was the first criterion in the initial domestication of plants thousands of years ago. Adaptedness is generally a quantitative complex feature of the plant, involving many traits, many of which are quantitative. Adaptation to stresses like cold, drought or diseases are among the most central problems in a world grappling with global food security. Modern plant breeding, based on mendelian genetics, has made plant improvement more effective and more precise and selective. Molecular genetics and genetic engineering has considerably...

ISBN: 9781855842274 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in organic and biodynamic produce. Although once considered marginal and "alternative," growing concerns about the environment, health, food quality, and animal welfare have brought organic and biodynamic agriculture into mainstream consciousness. Biodynamic agriculture is a unique development of the organic approach that does not focus only on agricultural techniques. It was conceived as a whole new approach and way of thinking about farming, nutrition, and the world of nature, allowing revitalized relationships with the living...

Plant Tolerance to Abiotic Stresses in Agriculture: Role of Genetic Engineering
ISBN: 9780792365679 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Environmental stresses represent the most limiting factors for agricultural productivity worldwide.

Interactions at the Soil Colloid: Soil Solution Interface
ISBN: 9789048140817 / Angielski / Miękka / 604 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. About 20 years ago the emphasis in soil chemistry research switched from studies of problems related to scarcities of plant nutrients to those arising from soil pollutants. The new problems have come about because of the excessive uses of fertilizers, the inputs from farm and industrial wastes, the widespread applications of anthropogenie xenobiotic chemicals, and the deterioration of soil structure resulting from certain modern agriculture practises. The International Society of Soil Science (ISSS) recognized these problems and challenges. A provisional Working Group was set up in 1978 to...
