Tree-Crop Interactions: A Physiological Approach

Edited by C K Ong, International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF), Kenya; P A Huxley, formerly of ICRAF

Pub Date: June 1996
Paperback
416 pages

Readership
Students, research workers and practitioners in plant and crop physiology and agroforestry.

Main Description
The potential role and benefits of agroforestry in sustainable agriculture have been recognized for some time. However, until recently there has been only a limited amount of quantitative physiological evidence to support this. This book breaks new ground in showing how the principles of crop physiology can be applied to the understanding of tree-crop interactions.
