Let's look at how you may get started producing lavender and caring for it to make the most money. This book will cover everything from the fundamentals to the advanced topics that you will ever need to know.

Plant Function Traits: Linking Climate and Ecosystem Functioning, part of the Plant Biology, Sustainability and Climate Change series, presents a wholistic understanding of Plant Functional Traits. As global climate change advances, natural resources are facing increasing survival challenges, hence this book directly addresses that need, exploring the morphological, physiological, and phenological properties of a plant that can be used as a proxy to understand plant environment interactions. Users will find great illustrations throughout individual chapters, along with case studies that demonstrate applications of functional traits in classifying vegetation of a region into distinct type groups as Plant Functional Types (PFTs). Additional information includes applications in the development of new generation of Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (DGVM) and an understanding of the response of vegetation to changing environments.

Una antologia di scritti e discorsi di Giovanni Gentile, autore della riforma scolastica che porta il suo nome e ha dato lustro alla scuola italiana. Il filo conduttore di questi scritti sono proprio i principi ispiratori della riforma gentiliana e gli obiettivi perseguiti e raggiunti di riqualificazione della istruzione italiana. Gli scritti sono stati raccolti dal prof. Girolamo Vanni Fiocca, studioso gentiliano e insegnante, autore anche dello studio introduttivo alla antologia, dal titolo " Giovanni Gentile e la educazione degli Italiani". Implacabile il raffronto fra la scuola gentiliana , " una porta verso l' alta cultura" e la scuola contemporanea, piuttosto un abisso aperto verso l' ignoranza di massa. Per finire, il volumetto raccoglie alcune riflessioni favorevoli alla riforma gentiliana di nomi illustri della cultura antifascista. Attuale.

Weed explores the beauty and bounty of cannabis, taking a journey into the heart of the joy, mindfulness, and fun derived from this very special plant.

This book explores plant and soil science, and other important subjects found in agriculture. It further explores different branches of amenity horticulture. The aim is to increase knowledge in the field of science and also plant maintenance. These two are very important when managing landscaped gardens and turf fields. Full knowledge of science, maintenance of irrigation and plant maintenance will, overtime, have effect on the cost. Keeping costs down is very important in horticulture. Poor technical expertise increases costs and this must be averted at any cost by implementing proper technical management practices guided by science.

This book contains six comprehensive chapters addressing various aspects of oilseed crop biology, production and use. The contributions summarize recent findings on oilseed crop responses to the environment, with a particular focus on rapeseed biology and stress tolerance. This book will be useful for undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, and researchers, particularly in the fields of agronomy and crop science.

This book provides a precise and meticulous overview of the production technologies involved in the cultivation of tropical plants. Technological advances have transformed the cultivation of fruit and ornamental plants from agronomic to value-added plants. The book highlights the essentials for developing tropical plants with increased nutritive, nutraceutical, and aesthetic value.

Due to the world's increasing population, the demand for food is rapidly growing. There is a real concern that we are headed toward a food crisis. Land for farming is dwindling, leading to the need to develop alternative production methods. One of the most promising is soilless agriculture, which refers to growing crops, particularly horticultural crops, in different growing media or in substrates other than soil (substrate culture) or in aerated nutrient solutions (water culture). The primary advantage of soilless agriculture is that it is independent of the negative effects of climate change and chemical pollution (temperature and soil intensity variations, drought, salinity, soil degradation, low biodiversity, toxicity, and diseases). This book presents up-to-date information on soilless culture types, how to manage plant nutrition, fertilizer use, organic cultivation, plant diseases and plant protection in soilless agriculture, the use of smart agricultural tools, the evaluation of carbon and water footprint, and the economic aspects of soilless agriculture.

Emerging CRISPR-Cas systems play an important role in precise genome editing of plants and animals. This book features methods of developing disease-resistant crops using CRISPR-Cas-mediated plant disease resistance modification.
