Concentrating on crop modelling, this book provides an introduction to the concepts of crop development, growth, and yield, with step-by-step outlines to each topic, suggested exercises and simple equations. A valuable text for students and researchers of crop development alike, this book is written in five parts that allow the reader to develop a solid foundation and coverage of production models including water- and nitrogen-limited systems. 606 $aCrops$xPhysiology$xMathematical models 606 $aCrops$xDevelopment$xMathematical models 606 $aCrops$xGrowth$xMathematical models 606 $aCrop yields$xMathematical models 615 0$aCrops$xPhysiology$xMathematical models. 615 0$aCrops$xDevelopment$xMathematical models. 615 0$aCrops$xGrowth$xMathematical models. 615 0$aCrop yields$xMathematical models. 676 $a631 700 $aSoltani$b Afshin$01267316 701 $aSinclair$b Thomas R.$f1944-$01267317 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910626110803321 996 $aModeling physiology of crop development, growth and yield$92980043 997 $aUNINA
