This book studies arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), a plant biostimulant key for future sustainable agriculture. AMF form symbiotic relations with plants, enhancing nutrient intake, boosting immunity against stress, and improving crop productivity.
Our soil, water, and environment are threatened. Life is dependent on these resources. If the soil is lost, where can we produce food? If water is lost, how will life persist? If the environment is not clean, how will we survive? This book explores how to save them.
This book presents a unique blend of research and global experiences in applying IoT techniques to agricultural production. Learn how to assess plant nutrition and optimize fertilizer doses to improve both the quality and quantity of agricultural production.
Small Farmers for Global Food Security
Modern agriculture has damaged ecosystems and diets. A growing movement of small farmers rejects this, re-creating food systems based on moral ecology—a concept that regenerates nature and serves the common good. We argue they could feed the entire world and eradicate hunger.
The Himalaya, a global biodiversity hotspot, faces profound threats from climate change. This volume explores the impacts on plants, microbes, and ecosystems, offering expert strategies and policy recommendations to safeguard this fragile mountain arc.
Logistics in India’s Farm Sector
This empirical study analyzes how poor logistics cripple India’s agriculture, causing massive post-harvest losses. It advocates for targeted infrastructure investment to unlock food security, improve market access, and foster sustainable growth.
Sustainable Soil Management
Leading scientists from across the globe show how sustainable soil management can revert land degradation, improve biodiversity, and mitigate climate change. This book is essential for researchers, farmers, and land managers working toward the theme of one-health for our planet.
This book provides an overview of recent developments in the production and processing of jute and allied fibres, offering insights to improve productivity. It is essential for researchers, students, and stakeholders seeking to generate ideas for future innovations.
This book is a synthesis of agrochemical management practices for sustainable plant protection. It covers pesticides, growth regulators, post-harvest chemicals, and newer molecules, discussing their chemistry, efficacy, environmental fate, and new methods of pesticide analysis.
Abiotic stressors like temperature, drought, and pollutants limit crop growth and agricultural productivity. Microorganisms are natural partners that help plants adapt. This book covers beneficial plant-microbe interactions that mitigate stress and enhance crop performance.

From Gunnerales to Oxalidales
This book describes in detail the morphological characters of all modern angiosperm families. Illustrated with original photos showing principal characters for identification, it is an essential resource for taxonomists, biologists, conservationists, and students.
An Introduction to Roundworms
Discover roundworms: the Earth’s most pervasive yet little-known animals. This book reveals their impact on our health, agriculture, and ecosystems, and their vital role in space research, environmental monitoring, and pest control. Features interviews with renowned scientists.
This book details successes and problems of wheat storage-protein genetics, and discusses discrepancies in recent experimental data. As such, it will be beneficial for advanced students in plant genetics, and for wheat scientists and breeders.
This book dissects the science behind climate change, exploring its causes and far-reaching consequences on our world. It unveils essential adaptation and mitigation strategies, equipping readers with the knowledge to understand and address this pressing global challenge.
This captivating exploration illuminates the pivotal roles of salicylic acid (SA) and nitric oxide (NO) as master regulators in plant adaptation. The book highlights their covert alliance and collaboration in alleviating high temperature-induced oxidative stress.
Soil Erosion and Conservation
Knowledge on soil erosion and conservation is crucial for food security and sustainable land management. This book covers theoretical and practical aspects with a focus on Sri Lanka’s dry zone, presenting new findings for geographers, ecologists, students, and researchers.
This book explores Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) and “Build Back Better” (BBB) initiatives for community resilience. It shows how traditional agriculture can revitalize regions and how disasters can be a trigger to create more resilient societies.
This collection of exquisite coloured photographs illustrates Jordan’s diverse wild medicinal and aromatic plants. It details 279 species, covering their taxonomy, chemical constituents, and uses in folk medicine. A valuable resource for culinary, health, and other purposes.
Climate change threatens agriculture, and the volatility of international wheat and rice prices will increase. This book shows how agricultural investments play a crucial role in stabilising global markets, decreasing food loss, and alleviating climate change risks.
