Limitations to Efficient Water Use in Crop Production

Life as we know it cannot exist without water-the solvent in most physiological processes. Vegetation in particular has evolved along a multitude of pathways to specifically deal with the vagaries of water availability. It is no wonder that mankind, since early recorded times, has attempted to understand and describe the functional relationships between water use and crop production. This book attempts to present our current state of knowledge in this quest and to pinpoint some lines of research likely to contribute to efficient use of the limiting water resource during the next one or two decades.
