The ultimate aim of the book "Crop Production in Stress Environment" is to enhance food production on continuous basis while maintaining the natural resource base in accordance with carrying capacity of supporting agro eco-system. Most of the progress in increasing crop production has been realized in favourable environments and high input conditions. In such areas there are serious issues which need to be looked into, if the food requirements of future generation are to be met on sustainable basis.
Major purpose of this publication is to highlight the technologies related to management of natural resources and crop improvement/gene technologies that are developed at global level to minimize the effects of biotic and abiotic stresses on crop production and for ameliorating yield and stress tolerance potential of crops in green and grey areas as well as socio-economic aspects. The chapters in this book are written by eminent authors who devoted their services for rainfed farming in the country. Adoption of these techniques not only results in protection of dryland crops but favour environment as well in larger interest of life and world to prevail in days to come.
The book is an invaluable and usable reference for agricultural and environmental scientists, especially environmental engineers. It will also cater to the needs of postgraduate students and researchers of relevant disciplines. Also it should hold the attention of those having interest in recent trends and advances in various facets of agricultural and environmental biotechnology. |
