Early meetings were mainly  concerned with the practical problems of soil fertility, with soil  assessment, fertilizer requirements and methods of analysis. As the  colloquia have progressed, the emphasis has slowly changed. The  practical problems are still important, but there is increasing  emphasis on plant physiology, plant biochemistry, membrane  biochemistry, and even on the chemistry of genes which control the  proteins which transfer nutrient ions to the inside of cells. The  meetings therefore provide a valuable opportunity for each half of the  science of plant nutrition to interact with, and learn from the other  half.\u003cbr\u003e  This volume begins with five papers which review current knowledge in  important fields: the rhizosphere, molecular biology, electron  microscopy, location and function of elements \u003cem\u003ein vivo\u003c\/em\u003e, and  modelling nutrient responses in the field. These themes are continued  in groups of shorter papers which follow. In addition, there are  sections on nutrient dynamics and partitioning, diagnostic techniques,  plant survival strategies, mycorrhizas, and on nutrients such as P, N,  S, K, Ca, Mg, and micronutrients. A large section is devoted  specifically to boron - reflecting the considerable current interest  in this element. In total there are 177 refereed papers providing both  a broad overview and a detailed picture of the latest developments in  pure and applied plant nutrition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-12-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401048323\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1880-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 806\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398567850124,"sku":"9789401048323","price":494.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401048323.jpg?v=1771514531","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401048323","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
