/li>
Nutrient imbalance in soils is an emerging threat to sustainable
agriculture: intensive cultivation, use of poor quality groundwater,
depletion of soil organic matter and excessive use of fertilizers are
major reasons for poor soil fertility worldwide. This necessitates correct
diagnosis of plant nutrient deficiencies to avoid further use of
pesticides in cases where pests or pathogens that are not in fact the
cause of poor crop health. Richly illustrated with 600 colour photographs,
this book is a visual field identification guide for symptoms of most
common nutrient deficiencies in field crops, covering all their stages of
occurrence. Detailed descriptions and suggested for management practices
are given with each entry.
