Fundamentals of Crop Physiology explores the physiological processes that govern crop growth, development, and productivity. Designed for students of agriculture, plant sciences, and biotechnology, the book provides a solid foundation in the principles of crop physiology while connecting them to practical applications in crop improvement and sustainable farming.
The text introduces the structure and function of plant cells, tissues, and organs, followed by detailed coverage of photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, mineral nutrition, water relations, and enzyme activity. It explains how crops respond to light, temperature, water, and other environmental factors, linking physiology to field performance.
Advanced topics include plant growth regulators, photoperiodism, vernalization, seed germination, flowering, senescence, and stress physiology (drought, salinity, heat, and biotic stress). Special emphasis is given to physiological bases of yield, source–sink relationships, and physiological interventions for crop productivity enhancement.
Illustrations, tables, and diagrams simplify complex concepts, while review questions, problems, and case studies help reinforce learning. The book also integrates modern perspectives, such as crop modeling, climate change impacts, and physiological breeding, showing how physiology supports innovations in agriculture.
By blending classical principles with modern research, Fundamentals of Crop Physiology serves as both a textbook and a reference guide for students, teachers, and researchers, offering essential insights into how physiological processes drive crop performance and agricultural sustainability.
