Book Synopsis Sustainable Potato Production: Global Case Studies by : Zhongqi He
Download or read book Sustainable Potato Production: Global Case Studies written by Zhongqi He and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-05-24 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is grown in over 100 countries throughout the world. As a staple food, potato is the fourth most important crop after rice, wheat, and maize, and has historically contributed to food and nutrition security in the world. Global interest in potato increased recently as world food prices soared, threatening the global food security and stability. Unlike major cereals, potato is not a globally traded commodity, and prices are usually determined by local production costs. Thus, potato is increasingly regarded as a vital food-security crop and as a substitute for costly cereal imports. With such importance, the 29 chapters in the edited book address the issues of sustainable potato production. This book begins with an introduction on sustainable potato production and global food security, and then presents eight case studies selected globally and covering different issues relevant to sustainable potato production in both developed and developing countries.
Book Synopsis Impact of Agricultural Practices on Biodiversity of Soil Invertebrates by : Stefano Bocchi
Download or read book Impact of Agricultural Practices on Biodiversity of Soil Invertebrates written by Stefano Bocchi and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil fauna plays a key role in many soil functions, such as organic matter decomposition, humus formation, and nutrient release, modifying soil structure, and improving its fertility. Soil invertebrates play key roles in determining soil suitability for agricultural production and realizing sustainable farming systems. They include an enormous diversity of arthropods, nematodes, and earthworms. However, this fauna suffers from the impact of agricultural activities with implications for the capacity of soil to maintain its fertility and provide ecosystem services. Some agricultural practices may create crucial soil habitat changes, with consequences for invertebrate biodiversity. In the few last decades, especially under intensive and specialized farming systems, a loss in soil ecosystem services has been observed, as a result of the reduction in both the abundance and taxonomic diversity of soil faunal communities. On the other hand, agricultural practices, based on sustainable soil management, can promote useful soil fauna. Therefore, the concerns about the sensibility of soil biota to the agricultural practices make it urgent to develop sustainable management strategies, able to realize favorable microclimate and habitats, and reduce the soil disturbance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite The Considerable Progress Made In Enhancing The Capacity Of Soils To Produce Crops Through The Use Of Manures And Fertilizers, There Are Yet A Large Number Of Ignorant Peasants In Many Asian Countries, Including India, Who Have Been Growing Crops Without Applying Adequate Amounts Of Manures And Fertilizers To Their Crop Fields And Consequently Obtaining Considerably Less Yields. It Needs To Be Realized By One And All That Soil, Particularly In The Developing Countries, Has To Be Fertile Enough If Their Ever-Increasing Huge Population Is To Be Adequately Fed And Clothed. Accordingly, Knowledge Of Farmyard Manure, Compost, Fertilizers And Other Agricultural By-Products And Their Applications Is Indispensable.The Present Book Is A Sincere Effort In Disseminating Information On Manures And Fertilizers. Primarily Designed As A Textbook, Its Wide Coverage Includes Varied Manures And Their Preparation And Effects; And Production And Consumption Of Various Fertilizers Along With The Detailed Elucidation Of Their Properties, Uses, Advantages And Disadvantages. Application Of Both Manures And Fertilizers Separately And In Combination Has Been Explained In Depth In Reference To Individual Crops Of Extensive Variety. It Analyses The Applied Aspects Of Fertilizers And Manures In Their Entirety And Suggests How To Adjust Them To Particular Soil And Particular Style Of Farming. The Book Is Well Supplemented With References And Indexes Which Will Prove Useful Study-Aids To Readers. Owing To Its Reader-Friendly Approach To The Subject, Simple Language And Lucid Style, The Book Is Accessible Even To Average Readers. While It Ideally Caters To The Academic Needs Of Undergraduate And Postgraduate Students Of Agriculture Science, It Is A Lasting Valuable Reference Source For Researchers And Teachers, Peasants, Geologists And Soil Surveyors.

Book Synopsis Sustainable Agriculture Reviews by : Eric Lichtfouse
Download or read book Sustainable Agriculture Reviews written by Eric Lichtfouse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, philosophy and social sciences. Because actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world. This book series gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, then propose alternative solutions. It will therefore help all scientists, decision-makers, professors, farmers and politicians who wish to build a safe agriculture, energy and food system for future generations.
