This handbook is a comprehensive, up-to-date reference book that addresses issues and concerns related to plant and crop stress effectively. While there are many reference books on soil salinity, sodicity, specific plant/crop salt and water stress, pollution, and other environmental stresses, all of these exist in relative isolation, covering only one specific topic.
To solve plant and crop stress problems efficiently and effectively requires the accountability and coordination of all the factors and their interrelationship with plant/crop stress. While several authors have competently covered the many areas separately, the areas are, nonetheless, interrelated and should be covered comprehensively in a single text. Thus, the purpose of this book is to fill this niche.
The new and updated third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress has been written by more than 100 contributors from 27 countries, who are among the most competent and knowledgeable scientists, specialists, and researchers in the field of agriculture. It is intended to serve as a resource for preparing for lectures as well as for conducting research. Scientists, agricultural researchers, agricultural practitioners, and students will benefit from this unique comprehensive guide, which covers plant stress problems from the soil to the atmosphere.
