The book entitled “Nutritional Disorders in Crop Plants” has been designed to cater the needs of the under graduate and post graduate students and scientists of both agriculture and horticulture. It will also serve as both guide and ready reckoner for the extension officials of both agriculture and horticulture in understanding the principles of crop nutrition as well as in diagnosing nutritional disorders. The book will be highly useful for policy ...
Stress environment is one of the major limiting factors for the crop productivity. Stress can be classified into biotic and abiotic according to the nature of the responsible factor. Abiotic stress refers to the stress caused by water, salt, oxygen, CO2, light, temperature, nutrients, etc. About 10% of the arable land of the world alone are categorized as free of abiotic stresses. The remaining include, 20% under some kind of mineral stress, 26% affected by ...
Diagnosis involves careful observation of crop with a thorough knowledge of crop behaviour as well as a complete understanding of functions of nutrients and their deficiency symptoms. Diagnostic techniques vary from crop to crop depending upon the field condition in which the deficiency occurs. Indian agriculture has entered into an era of multiple nutrient deficiencies.
Realizing the gravity of emerging problem of nutrient deficiencies and to fulfill an ...
Seed Physiology of Crops is the basis for seed production. Seed Physiology deals with the physiological and biochemical aspects of seed germination, growth, development and maturation. Even though a number of books are available on seed science and technology, books on seed physiology are meager, hence, in order to provide a comprehensive review on seed physiology of major crops, an attempt has been made to compile seed physiology in major crops.The authors for ...
The present title Pharmaceutical Validation has been written for those in the pharmaceutical research and those responsible for the education and training in pharmaceutical science and technology. Medicine is an ever-changing science. As new research and clinical experience broaden our knowledge, changes in treatment and drug therapy are required. This branch of life science has progressed enormously in recent years and the significant advances in therapeutics ...

Biotechnology is the controlled engineering of plants suing in vitro methods. As a technology, it is competent to meet the challenge for the increased turnover of biomass for the energy production. The world's demand for food, shelter and wood is expected to double by 2030. Hence, a large scale propagation and rapid multiplication of short duration plants, synthesis of novel, disease resistant, high yielding, disease free and photosynthetically efficient ...

The book will be an authoritative source of information for all the concerned.
This is comprehensively designed title and provides a complete understanding of the theory and methods involving the demonstration of pathogens and minute tissue structures in disease. Since the differences between diseased and normal tissues are often slight, it follows that the majority of the methods involved may be used for both. The methods are dealt completely on a step by step format that will allow the laboratory workers to perform any procedure without ...

The analytical equipment used in both teaching and research in the biological and medical sciences is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Undergraduate and postgraduate students now encounter a wide variety of instruments. But many students approach the equipments. But many students approach the equipment with a “black box†mentality, using instruments to make measurement, but without understanding the physical and chemical ...
