| Abstract
|
:
|
Written by international authorities in agronomy, Volume 62 contains five comprehensive reviews covering key contemporary topics on crop and soil sciences. As always, the topics are varied and exemplify the wide array of subject matter covered by this long-running serial. With this latest volume, Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized as a leading reference and as a first-rate source of the latest research in agronomy, crop science, and soil science.
