Series, IAEA STI/PUB/1285.
This publication includes the latest research developments made in the application of the integrated approach to soil, water and nutrient management practices to increase and sustain crop productivity
in the moist savannahs of Africa and Latin America. Featuring the contributions from 12 research teams, the papers provide a comprehensive coverage of the main approaches and strategies utilised
to improve agricultural production of tropical acid soils through (a) use of better adapted plants; (b) amelioration of soil acidity and infertility; and (c) integrated soil, water, nutrient and crop management.
This book is up-to-date resource for agronomists, crop husbandry specialists, ecologists, soil and environmental scientists, plant breeders, and upper level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines. Also, for high level extension workers, policy and decision-makers, technical staff of non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders involved in sustainable agricultural development in tropical and subtropical environments.
