Crop Physiology: Applications for Genetic Improvement and Agronomy in Diverse Cropping Systems, Third Edition, continues to provide updated insights in crop science; the premise is that farmers use two technological menus: varieties, and practices - what to grow and how. Hence, the book finds the relevance of crop physiology in a context of plant breeding and agronomy. This book is written for an audience of researchers and advanced students seeking to understand the fundamentals of crop ecophysiology including the economies of water, nitrogen and carbon, and crop adaptation to soil and climate stresses.

Über Autor(innen)

Sadras, Victor
Victor Sadras is a crop ecophysiologist with interest in the adaptation of crops to environmental stresses, including water deficit, extreme temperatures, nutrient deficit, soil physical and chemical constraints, pathogens and insects. He has measured and modelled aspects of the water, carbon and nitrogen economies of annual (wheat, field pea, chickpea, sunflower, maize, soybean, cotton) and perennial crops (grapevine, olive) in rain-fed and irrigated systems.

Ciampitti, Ignacio
Dr. Ignacio A. Ciampitti received his degree in Agronomy at the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. M.S. Plant Nutrition, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and a Ph.D. in Crop Physiology, Purdue University. His research program focuses on integrating field, statistics, remote sensing and modeling research for understanding plant responses. He is currently leading efforts for Digital Agriculture with work at national and international scale. Dr. Ciampitti has authored or co-authored + 200 peer-reviewed articles and acted as main editor (with P.V. Vara Prasad) of the book, Sorghum: A State of the Art and Future Perspetives. Currently, he is an Associate Editor-in-Chief for the European Journal of Agronomy and technical editor for Crop Science journal, and part of the Editorial Board for Remote Sensing, Field Crops Research, and Forecasting journals. He is also a board member of the Crop Science Society of America.

Bustos-Korts, Daniela
Dr. Daniela Bustos-Korts studied Agricultural Sciences and later an MSc in Crop Physiology at Universidad Austral de Chile. She did a PhD in Statistical Genetics at Biometris, Wageningen University, Netherlands. After her PhD she worked at the same university as a postdoctoral researcher in projects related to genetic diversity in wheat and barley and on the prediction of genotype by environment interaction integrating statistical models and crop growth models. Later, she worked as an assistant Professor at Wageningen University, teaching MSc and PhD courses in topics related to the application of statistics to plant breeding. Daniela currently works at Universidad Austral de Chile, where she leads projects integrating genomic, phenomic and environmental information to predict wheat adaptation to drought. She is also member of the Editorial board of Theoretical and Applied Genetics and a guest Editor at In Silico Plants.
