Description
Advances in Agronomy increased its publication frequency to three volumes per year in 1993, and will continue this trend
as advances in the field dictate. Volume 53 contains four excellent reviews which cover an international spectrum of advances in the
crop and soil sciences. One of the most important areas of research, sustainable agriculture, is treated
in a comprehensive article in
crop rotation in the twenty-first century. Aluminum in acid soils and the factors controlling its behavior are detailed in a second article.
A third long review explains the role of nutrient management on water quality, which is now a critical issue for environmental conservation.
The final chapter is a definitive treatise on interparticle force effects on physical behavior of soils, which has crucial influences
on plant growth and yield.
Audience
Researchers and students in agronomy, plant and soil sciences, and environmental sciences in university, industry, and government laboratories.
