Growth and Mineral Nutrition of Field Crops
Second Edition
by N. K. Fageria
V. C. Baligar
and Charles Allan Jones

Extensively updated and expanded to reflect research advances developed since the publication of the previous edition, Growth and Mineral Nutrition of Field Crops, Second Edition examines climate-soil-plant interrelationships governing the nutritional and growth aspects of cereal, legume, and pasture crops—providing basic and applied information to improve the management and potential yield of major temperate and tropical field crops.
