In Intensive Cropping, you will explore the need for extreme farming and related concerns and concepts, including:
- reducing runoff, deep seepage, and evaporation losses
- supplementing irrigation with surface and ground water
- understanding the process of water uptake and its effects on root dynamics and water use
- reducing leaching, erosion, and gasseus losses in your fields
- using combinations of organic manures, crop residues, chemical fertilizers, and biofertilizers for soil maintenance
- implementing conventional and emerging tillage systems, such as conservation tillage for improving soil quality
- examining case studies of contrasting edaphic requirements of rice-wheat systems
Intensive Cropping brings you up-to-date on recent advances in the field, supported by relevant experimental observations on environmentally safe and effective ways to increase crop performance. By examining this new research on increasing crop production, you will be able to successfully increase crop yields in various climates and support the growing global demand for such resources.
