This book sets out to address theimportant issue of how physiological mechanisms of nutrient uptake canbest be combined with genetic options to improve the adaptation ofcrops to low-nutrient availability, thereby enhancing productivity ofnutrient poor soils in the semi-arid tropics. The book examines (i)the sustainability of breeding for low-nutrient environments from theviewpoint of three interrelated disciplines; physiology, breeding, andsocio-economics, (ii) candidate mechanisms and physiological traits toenhance uptake and utilization efficiencies, (iii) genetic approachesfor manipulation of crop plants to enhance root exudation and accessnutrients in the rhizosphere, and (iv) field practices and farmers‘preferences for crop varieties grown in low-nutrient environments.Finally, the role of modelling in improving nutrient efficiency incropping systems, recommendations for future research needs | | 出版日期 | Book 2002 | | 关键词 | breeding; cropping systems; crops; food security; food systems; genetic approaches; genetic capabilities; g | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-1570-6 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-6013-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-017-1570-6 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2002 |
