Tropical Agronomy

◆ ◆ The definitive agronomic blueprint for maximizing crop productivity in tropical and subtropical agroecosystems! ────────── An advanced agronomy textbook designed for tropical crop researchers, agricultural extension officers, and international developers. The volume examines tropical soil management, monsoon dynamics, multi-tier cropping systems, botanical interference, and production technologies for major tropical food and cash crops. It provides science-backed interventions to overcome tropical agricultural challenges.

➤ Highlights:

• Tropical Soil Dynamics: Analyzes oxisols, ultisols, nutrient leaching, and organic matter.
• Monsoon Adaptation: Focuses on rainfall variability, contingency cropping, and moisture management.
• Cropping Systems: Explores intercropping, relay cropping, and agroforestry in the tropics.
• Major Tropical Crops: Details production technology for rice, cassava, sorghum, and tropical fruits.
• botanical & Pest Pressures: Reviews management of aggressive tropical botanicals and insect complexes.
