Contents:
Contexts. The boundaries, scale and scope of agronomy. The broad dominance of climate. The influence of soil and topography. Climates, crops, soils, people. Agronomic experiment and analysis -- Resource Flows and Currencies. Solar Radiation. The solar spectrum and plant processes. The fate of radiation in crop systems. Conclusions. Water. The hydrological cycle. Soil water energy. Plant water energy. Evaporation. The fate of water in crop systems. Conclusions -- Essential Choices: Genotype, Timing, Configuration. Genotype (What?). Evolution and genetic manipulation. Characteristics of the main crop types.
Abstract: This book is concerned with the principles by which crop management can influence how plants use environmental resources. It synthesizes current knowledge in plant physiology, environmental physics, soil science and climate to provide a framework for studying crop production in tropical environments.
