Description
More than four fifths of the world's crops are grown under stressful conditions, and potential yields are never realized. At the same time, developing countries are under extreme pressure to improve crop yields to feed their ever-increasing populations. This second volume of three identifies ways of overcoming soil and other environmental factors through the development of new plant varieties which are more capable of withstanding high stress-levels.
