About this book

Environmental conditions and inadequate or excessive mineral nutrition can have serious implications on the quality of food crops. Crop Management and Postharvest Handling of Horticultural Crops is a compilation of information on management tools. It also reviews the factors affecting the plant mineral nutrition and growth. It highlights the importance of fertilizers and mineral nutrition for improved agricultural production, yield, and amelioration of soil fertility.
