Given the expected doubling in rice production in Asia, the need to evaluate the interaction between climate change and rice production is critical to forming a sound basis for future directions of technology developments by policy makers, agriculturists, environmentalists, rice producers, and rice consumers.

Emphasis in agricultural production has shifted from mere quantity to quality products. Therefore, balanced crop nutrition increases crop quality, safeguards natural resources and brings benefit to the farmer.

Extended versions of papers presented in the Symposium on Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Agriculture at the 15th Congress of Soil Science, Acapulco, Mexico 1994

Proceedings of a Workshop held at the University of Michigan Biological Station, Pellston, Michigan, U.S.A, May 29--June 2, 1993

Ultimate success in exploiting the genetic capabilities of plants to grow in nutrient-stressed environments of the semi-arid tropics (SAT) requires a holistic view of food systems to ensure that genetic selections for improved yields on nutrient-poor soils will actually be adopted by farmers.

Proceedings of a Workshop in the EEC Programme of Coordination and Research on Effluents from Livestock

Proceedings of the Second International Symposium organized by the University of Wisconsin, June 16-20, 1985

It has long been recognized that soil organic matter is the key to soil fertility. But it has another property, the nature and extent of which have been the subject of argu ment and controversy ever since scientists began to study the soil, and that is its ability to affect growth directly, other than by providing nutrient elements.

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the Rothamsted Millennium Conference "Interactions in the Root Environment - an Integrated Approach".

CEC/IUFRO Symposium, Halmstad, Sweden, June 7-10, 1993

Rice is the major staple food in Asia, and food security means rice security for most Asians.

Proceedings of the International Symposium on `Zinc in Soils and Plants', held at The University of Western Australia, Perth, Western Australia, 27--28 September 1993

Proceedings of a Symposium, held in Lome, Togo, March 25-28, 1985

Proceedings of the 12th meeting on Frankia and actinorhizal Plants

Catering to professional plant scientists and graduate students, this book is at the forefront of plant root science (rhizology). It covers root development, stress physiology, ecology, and associations with microorganisms. It includes chapters which are selected papers presented at the 6th Symposium of the International Society of Root Research.

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the Rothamsted Millennium Conference "Interactions in the Root Environment - an Integrated Approach".

Actin is an extremely abundant protein that comprises a dynamic polymeric network present in all eukaryotic cells, known as the actin cytoskeleton.

Countless other processes affecting the activity of soil micro flora and the inter actions between microorganisms and plants may pose an equal danger to soil equilibrium, but their potential hazards are often overlooked because of an insufficient understanding of soil microbiology on the part of scientists.

This volume is a compilation of extended abstracts of all papers presented at the 14th International Plant Nutrition Colloquium. Over 500 oral and poster presentations illustrate current knowledge and research emphasis in this subject, providing a comprehensive view of the state of plant nutrition research.

This publication comprises the proceedings of the first International Conference devoted to the structural roots of trees and woody plants. The structure and function of woody roots was also considered at different levels, from coarse to fine roots, with several papers discussing the interaction between roots and the rhizosphere.

During the next 30 years, farmers must produce 70% more rice than the 550 millions tons produced today to feed the increasing population. Rice suffers from a mismatch of its N demand and N supplied as fertilizer, resulting in a 50-70% loss of applied N fertilizer.
