Among them are included cereals, grain legumes, sugar beet, potato, cotton, tobacco, sunflower, safflower, rape, flax, soybean, alfalfa, clover spp. and other fodder crops, but only 15–20 species play a relevant role for the worldly global economy. Nowadays, to meet the food demand of the ever-increasing world population in a scenario of decreased arable lands, the development of holistic agricultural management approaches to boost contemporaneously yield and quality of herbaceous field crops is essential. Accordingly, this book represents an up-to-date collection of the current understanding of the impact of several agricultural management factors (i.e., genetic selection, planting density and arrangement, fertilization, irrigation, weed control and harvest time) on the yield and qualitative performances of 11 field crops (wheat, cardoon, potato, clary sage, basil, sugarcane, canola, cotton, tomato, lettuce and hemp). On the whole, the topics covered in this book will ensure students and academic readers, such as plant physiologists, environmental scientists, biotechnologists, botanists, soil chemists and agronomists, to get the information about the recent research advances on the eco-sustainable management cultivation of herbaceous field crops, with a particular focus on varietal development, soil nutrient and water management, weed control, etc.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscplanting densityfertilizationthe central composite designfiber yieldanalog optimizationpotatonitrogen fertilizationenvironmental sustainabilitycost-effectivenitrogen use efficiencytuber yieldEONFRgrowthspecific leaf nitrogencritical nitrogen uptakecottondry matter yieldroot growthroot physiologywater productivitynitrogen productivitydrip irrigation quotalint yieldbiomassleaf chlorophyll fluorescenceleaf gas exchangeleaf structuredrought tolerancedry weight yieldessential oil contentleaf area indexOcimum basilicumpotassiumfertilizerbiomass accumulationfiber qualityorganic farming systemyieldpHsoluble solid contentBostwick viscosityphosphorus sensitivityphosphorusreproductive organ biomassnutrients accumulationplant densitynitrogen fertilization ratephotosynthesis rateSPAD readingsnitrogen efficiency indicestuber nutritional compositioncereal cropsplant water extractsbioherbicidesweed managementallelopathydual purpose canolanitrogen fertilizeroil contentgrazingsustainable agricultureintegrated weed managementyield lossespreventive weed controlmechanical weed controlphysical weed controlbiological weed controlherbicideshybridswheatweedscompetitiongenetic gaingenomic selectionquantitative geneticssugarcane breedingpit plantationplanting patternsratoon cropsowing techniquessugarcane yieldqualityseasonal variationfatty acidsfree sugarschemical compositionCynara cardunculus L.cardoonorganic acidsclary sageessential oilaromatic plant speciesbiometric and agronomic characteristicsarbuscular mycorrhizal fungiorganic farmingcalcareous soilscrop physiologysustainabilitydiatomaceous earthmonosilicic acidSi application methodsoil water conditionswheat cultivartocopherolslipidic fractioncompanion plantsN-fertilizationpartial land equivalent ratio (PLER)weed controlgrain qualityproductivityResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesTechnology, engineering, agricultureMauromicale Giovanniedt1311340Lombardo SaraedtMauromicale GiovanniothLombardo SaraothBOOK9910557364303321Herbaceous Field Crops Cultivation3030265UNINA
