John Wiley Beneficial Chemical Elements Of Plants - Recent Developments And Future Prospects by Sangeeta Pandey
BENEFICIAL CHEMICAL ELEMENTS OF PLANTSUnderstand beneficial elements and their role in the future of botany and agricultureBeneficial elements are those which while not essential to plant life can provide stimulation and enhance plant growth. Properly harnessed these elements can bolster plant growth in the face of environmental conditions―including drought nutrient deficiency and excessive soil salinity―and biotic stresses like pathogens and animal activity. As climate change and population growth pose increasingly serious challenges to agriculture and essential plant production it has never been more important to unleash the potential of beneficial elements.Beneficial Chemical Elements of Plants is an essential resource for researchers and industry specialists looking to enhance their understanding of these elements and the range and variety of their enhancements to plant growth. Written by leading scholars in the field of plant stress tolerance and nutrient enrichment it discusses not only the rich possibilities of beneficial elements but their mechanisms of action at both biochemical and molecular levels. It details the precise potential roles played by each major beneficial element and surveys a range of elemental responses to specific environmental conditions and plant stresses.Beneficial Chemical Elements of Plants readers will also find Chapters covering beneficial elements including aluminum cobalt sodium selenium and siliconDiscussion of application methods and typical plant responsesTreatment of beneficial elements in a wider environmental contextBeneficial element applications to the field of sustainable agricultureBeneficial Chemical Elements of Plants is a fundamental starting point for researchers and students in the fields of plant physiology crop science agriculture and botany as well as for professionals in the biotechnology and agricultural industries.
