| Summary: | This book is concerned with the ways in which crops might be developed, or improved, for soils that are agriculturally unproductive because of excesses- high salinity and metal toxicity - and/or deficiencies of certain minerals. The aim is that those working to derive crops for growth on these problem soils should be aware of the many diverse avenues that areavailable. The methods discussed are conventional breeding, selection based on knowledge of the physiological basis of tolerance, the use of cell culture and cytogenetics, and the exploitation of native flora. |
