  • Fertilizer sulfur and food production

    Research and Policy Implications for Tropical Countries

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Fertilizer is a vital component of strategies for expanding foodproduction. The rapid growth in population and the widening food deficits inmany tropical countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America call attention to those aspects of fertilization that have been neglected but are expected to yield large economic payoffs in the future. Fertilizer sulfur falls into this category. In the past ... Read more

  • Precision in Crop Farming

    Site Specific Concepts and Sensing Methods: Applications and Results

    Edited by Hermann J. Heege ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    High yields and environmental control in crop farming call for precise adaptations to local growing conditions. Treating large fields in a uniform way by high capacity machinery cannot be regarded as a sustainable method for many situations. Because differences existing within single fields must be considered. The transition from former field work carried out manually or by small implements to ... Read more

  • Rangeland Desertification

    Edited by Olafur Arnalds, Steve Archer ...
    Series Book 19 - Advances in Vegetation Science
    Desertification has occurred worldwide. The biophysical and socio-economic complexity of this phenomenon has challenged our ability to categorize, inventory, monitor and repair the condition of degraded lands. One of the most important distinctions to be made in relation to land degradation is between cultivated land used for annual crop production and `rangelands'. Grazing by free-roaming ... Read more
