About the Book
"Perspectives on the Micronutrient Nutrition of Crops" is an in-depth treatise on the importance of micronutrient and trace element nutrition in crops, exploring their interactions within the soil-water-plant system across various global agro-ecosystems. This book provides critical insights into how micronutrients influence plant growth and crop productivity and highlights the significant role of micronutrient management in sustainable agriculture.

Key topics covered include:

• Micronutrient/Trace Element Nutrition: Detailed examination of micronutrient applications and their impact on crops, emphasizing the judicious supply of inorganic ions.

• Research Advances: Insights into the latest research in micronutrient applications and their effects on plant health, crop yield, and soil health.

• Interdisciplinary Approach: Integration of plant nutrition, soil science, agronomy, plant physiology, molecular plant physiology, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology to address micronutrient research.

• Sustainable Crop Productivity: Focus on sustainable approaches to micronutrient management that enhance crop productivity without depleting soil health.

• Emerging Techniques: The treatise incorporates newly developed techniques for micronutrient research that can be applied to improve plant and human health.

This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, teachers, students, and professionals in the fields of agronomy, plant nutrition, soil science, and related areas. Its comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach makes it an essential guide for those looking to deepen their knowledge of micronutrient nutrition in crops and its role in promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
