Customer Reviews

Not for all but great for those who need it.

Crop Ecology is a synthesis of class lecture notes and research collected by the authors over their professional careers. It covers cropping systems from how agriculture is organized at a regional level down to the biochemical pathways of photosynthesis. This is not an introductory text. However, I have found the book to be filled with great examples and illustrations that I use in undergraduate and graduate agronomy instruction. It has been a good investment.
