The ultimate aim of the book “Crop Production in Stress Environment” is to enhance food production on continuous basis while maintaining the natural resource base in accordance with carrying capacity of supporting agro-eco system. Most of the progress in increasing crop production has been realized in favourable environments and high input conditions. In such areas there are serious issues which need to be looked into, if the food requirements of future generation are to be met on sustainable basis.

Major purpose of this publication is to highlight the technologies related to management of natural resources and crop improvement / gene technologies that are developed at global level to minimize the effects of biotic and abiotic stresses on crop production and for ameliorating yield and stress tolerance potential of crops in green and grey areas as well as socio-economic aspects. The chapters in this book are written by eminent author who devoted their services for rainfed farming in the country. Adoption of these techniques not only results in protection of dryland crops but favour environment as well in larger interest of life and world to prevail in days to come.”

The book is an invaluable and usable reference for agricultural and environmental scientists, especially environmental engineers. It will also cater to the needs of post-graduate students and researchers of relevant disciplines. Also it should hold the attention of those having interest in recent trends and advances in various facets of agricultural and environmental biotechnology.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Charlotte Johnson

Charlotte Jhonson is a globe-trotting botanist who has compiled some of the world's most elaborate and expensive plan books. He returned to his native country three years ago after living in the South Africa. As a Plant Hunter, he searched vast regions and traveled to remote islands. He holds a B.Sc. degree in Botany and M.Sc. degrees in both Chemistry and in Plant Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts. His career spans 26 years in the chemical industry and related fields. His knowledge and the specimens he brought back befitted Horticulture as well as Indoor Gardeners. He found new species of Chinese evergreens, dracaena, Begonia exotica, Sansevieria of Ceylon and the first white African Violet. His comprehensive illustrated inventories of the world's flora were expensive, though the cost did not seem to discourage aficionados. His trips, the recalled, had their close calls, from unforgiving terrain to tribes who resented his intrusion in New Guinea. He visited the giant lobelias of Mount Kilimanjaro, Azaleas and Rhododendrons of Sikkim and the bamboos of China; where he savored the country's ornamental Horticulture.
