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. 606 $aBiology, life sciences$2bicssc 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology, Engineering, Agriculture, Industrial processes$2bicssc 610 $aallelopathy 610 $aanalog optimization 610 $aarbuscular mycorrhizal fungi 610 $aaromatic plant species 610 $abioherbicides 610 $abiological weed control 610 $abiomass 610 $abiomass accumulation 610 $abiometric and agronomic characteristics 610 $aBostwick viscosity 610 $acalcareous soils 610 $acardoon 610 $acereal crops 610 $achemical composition 610 $aclary sage 610 $acompanion plants 610 $acompetition 610 $acost-effective 610 $acotton 610 $acritical nitrogen uptake 610 $acrop physiology 610 $aCynara cardunculus L. 610 $adiatomaceous earth 610 $adrip irrigation quota 610 $adrought tolerance 610 $adry matter yield 610 $adry weight yield 610 $adual purpose canola 610 $aenvironmental sustainability 610 $aEONFR 610 $aessential oil 610 $aessential oil content 610 $afatty acids 610 $afertilization 610 $afertilizer 610 $afiber quality 610 $afiber yield 610 $afree sugars 610 $agenetic gain 610 $agenomic selection 610 $agrain quality 610 $agrazing 610 $agrowth 610 $aherbicides 610 $ahybrids 610 $aintegrated weed management 610 $aleaf area index 610 $aleaf chlorophyll fluorescence 610 $aleaf gas exchange 610 $aleaf structure 610 $alint yield 610 $alipidic fraction 610 $amechanical weed control 610 $amonosilicic acid 610 $aN-fertilization 610 $an/a 610 $anitrogen efficiency indices 610 $anitrogen fertilization 610 $anitrogen fertilization rate 610 $anitrogen fertilizer 610 $anitrogen productivity 610 $anitrogen use efficiency 610 $anutrients accumulation 610 $aOcimum basilicum 610 $aoil content 610 $aorganic acids 610 $aorganic farming 610 $aorganic farming system 610 $apartial land equivalent ratio (PLER) 610 $apH 610 $aphosphorus 610 $aphosphorus sensitivity 610 $aphotosynthesis rate 610 $aphysical weed control 610 $apit plantation 610 $aplant density 610 $aplant water extracts 610 $aplanting density 610 $aplanting patterns 610 $apotassium 610 $apotato 610 $apreventive weed control 610 $aproductivity 610 $aquality 610 $aquantitative genetics 610 $aratoon crop 610 $areproductive organ biomass 610 $aroot growth 610 $aroot physiology 610 $aseasonal variation 610 $aSi application method 610 $asoil water conditions 610 $asoluble solid content 610 $asowing techniques 610 $aSPAD readings 610 $aspecific leaf nitrogen 610 $asugarcane breeding 610 $asugarcane yield 610 $asustainability 610 $asustainable agriculture 610 $athe central composite design 610 $atocopherols 610 $atuber nutritional composition 610 $atuber yield 610 $awater productivity 610 $aweed control 610 $aweed management 610 $aweeds 610 $awheat 610 $awheat cultivar 610 $ayield 610 $ayield losses 615 7$aBiology, life sciences 615 7$aResearch and information: general 615 7$aTechnology, Engineering, Agriculture, Industrial processes 700 $aMauromicale$b Giovanni$4edt$01311340 702 $aLombardo$b Sara$4edt 702 $aMauromicale$b Giovanni$4oth 702 $aLombardo$b Sara$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557364303321 996 $aHerbaceous Field Crops Cultivation$93030265 997 $aUNINA
