Fruit Crops: Diagnosis and Management of Nutrient Constraints

Fruit Crops: Diagnosis and Management of Nutrient Constraints is the first and only resource to holistically relate fruits, as a nutritional source for human health, to state-of-the-art methodologies currently used to diagnose and manage the nutritional constraints placed on those fruits. Closing the knowledge gap in the relationship between the growing environment and the resulting nutritional benefit is the core focus of this globally contributed volume. In addition to be being abundantly rich in a variety of nutrients and strong atmospheric carbon sink, fruit crop plants are faced with the significant challenge of sustaining long-term quality production without compromising soil health due to potential nutrient mining necessary for consistent, strong growth. Changes in the nutrient density of fruit crops have been increasingly dictated by depleting soil fertility, which is of much greater significance in the distinct absence of precision-oriented non-invasive diagnosis of nutrient constraints. Many fruits' nutrients also have overlapping roles in plant physiological disorders. Fruit Crops explores the means for these to be effectively alleviated using a variety of advanced management technique including open field hydroponic, fertigation/bio-fertigation, use of nano-fertilizers, sensors-based nutrient management, climate- smart integrated soil fertility management, inoculation with microbial consortium and endophytes backed up by ecophysiology of fruit crops. These intricate issues are effectively presented, include real-world application, combining traditional and conventional knowledge with state-of-the-art, futurist insights in this valuable resource.
