New frontiers in stress management for durable agriculture

New frontiers in stress management for durable agriculture / Amitava Rakshit, Harikesh Bahadur Singh, Anand Kumar Singh, Uma Shankar Singh, Leonardo Fraceto, editors.

Using accessible farming practices to meet the growing demands on agriculture is likely to result in more intense competition for natural resources, increased greenhouse gas emissions, and further deforestation and land degradation, which will in turn produce additional stress in the soil-water-plan...
