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.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch and information: generalbicsscTechnology, Engineering, Agriculture, Industrial processesbicsscallelopathyanalog optimizationarbuscular mycorrhizal fungiaromatic plant speciesbioherbicidesbiological weed controlbiomassbiomass accumulationbiometric and agronomic characteristicsBostwick viscositycalcareous soilscardooncereal cropschemical compositionclary sagecompanion plantscompetitioncost-effectivecottoncritical nitrogen uptakecrop physiologyCynara cardunculus L.diatomaceous earthdrip irrigation quotadrought tolerancedry matter yielddry weight yielddual purpose canolaenvironmental sustainabilityEONFRessential oilessential oil contentfatty acidsfertilizationfertilizerfiber qualityfiber yieldfree sugarsgenetic gaingenomic selectiongrain qualitygrazinggrowthherbicideshybridsintegrated weed managementleaf area indexleaf chlorophyll fluorescenceleaf gas exchangeleaf structurelint yieldlipidic fractionmechanical weed controlmonosilicic acidN-fertilizationn/anitrogen efficiency indicesnitrogen fertilizationnitrogen fertilization ratenitrogen fertilizernitrogen productivitynitrogen use efficiencynutrients accumulationOcimum basilicumoil contentorganic acidsorganic farmingorganic farming systempartial land equivalent ratio (PLER)pHphosphorusphosphorus sensitivityphotosynthesis ratephysical weed controlpit plantationplant densityplant water extractsplanting densityplanting patternspotassiumpotatopreventive weed controlproductivityqualityquantitative geneticsratoon cropreproductive organ biomassroot growthroot physiologyseasonal variationSi application methodsoil water conditionssoluble solid contentsowing techniquesSPAD readingsspecific leaf nitrogensugarcane breedingsugarcane yieldsustainabilitysustainable agriculturethe central composite designtocopherolstuber nutritional compositiontuber yieldwater productivityweed controlweed managementweedswheatwheat cultivaryieldyield lossesBiology, life sciencesResearch and information: generalTechnology, Engineering, Agriculture, Industrial processesMauromicale Giovanniedt1311340Lombardo SaraedtMauromicale GiovanniothLombardo SaraothBOOK9910557364303321Herbaceous Field Crops Cultivation3030265UNINA
