Soil and Plant Analysis by J. Benton Jones, Jr. Pdf

With the renewed current emphasis on agricultural production efficiency and environmental quality, the technology of soil and plant analysis has taken on even greater importance. Several states now require soil testing as part of their nutrient management programs. Soil testing and plant analysis are important components of the Food Security Act and under consideration as safeguards for the new Clean Water Act. The Council on Soil Testing and Plant Analysis, established in 1969, promotes soil testing and plant analysis, including efficient use of nutrient resources, maximizing profits, and encouraging proper soil management and environmental protection. Compiled by the Council in response to the growing need for information about soil testing and plant analysis laboratories, Soil and Plant Analysis Laboratory Registry for the United States and Canada, Second Edition provides up-to-date information about public and private laboratory services, including:

Mycological Techniques: Identification of Mycotoxigenic Fungi and Mycotoxins by Ajay K. Gautam,Rekha Bhadauria Pdf

Mycotoxigenic Fungi and Mycotoxins” is a manual designed to aid the guidelines and techniques applied in mycological laboratory and in the other allied fields. This handbook is based on research conducted by many renowned scientists on fungi and related mycotoxins, and the practical approach to the isolation and identification of toxigenic strains of fungi as well as their related fungal toxins, called as Mycotoxins, commonly met on stored food and other materials. Students hopefully will find the information on important fungi particularly related to storage and field conditions and secondary metabolites produced during the growth of fungi on food and other substrates. Reports of many esearchers, scientists, and books from all over globe indicate direct relation between the incidence of mycotoxigenic fungi, extent of mycotoxin contamination and their prevalence revealed their relation to some of the human ailments. Most of the mycotoxins mainly aflatoxins, ochratoxins A and fumonisins are posing serious health hazards in Asian countries. In the context of Indian climatic conditions, need of assessing and preparation of a comprehensive account related to consumption of contaminated food and feed is essential in order to highlight the problems and their health hazards due to mycotoxins. Present attempt is made to provide recent developments in the subject so that researchers interested may get clear understanding of the problems. This Handbook deals with general aspects of mycological techniques, mycotoxins covering detailed information of mycotoxigenic fungi and their identification.

Plant Microtechniques and Protocols by Edward Chee Tak Yeung,Claudio Stasolla,Michael John Sumner,Bing Quan Huang Pdf

A proper understanding of the structural organization of the plant body is essential to any study in plant biology. Experimental studies in vivo and in situ will lead to structural, physiological, and cellular changes of the experimental material. To study macroscopic and microscopic changes, different histological methods and microtechniques can be used as they provide valuable information of the experimental system. In addition, the observed structural changes allow investigators to set hypothesis for further studies based on one’s own observation. Thus, proper selection and utilization of microtechniques are a must for the success of a research program. At present, an up-to-date collection of protocols are not readily available in the literature. The latest work in plant microtechniques was published in 1999 by Ruzin but many others are no longer in print [e.g., Jensen (1964); O’Brien and McCully (1981)]. Furthermore, a majority of published works focus on techniques related to general processing and staining procedures. A comprehensive treatment that encompasses broader applications of microtechniques to other disciplines is lacking [e.g., archeology, wood science, etc.]. There is a need to create a comprehensive volume of botanical methods and protocols which includes traditional and novel techniques that can be used by researchers in plant science and investigators in other disciplines that require plant microtechniques in their research and teaching. This book covers a wide variety of applications and brings them up-to-date to make them understandable and relevant, especially to students using the methods for the first time. It is our intention to create a useful reference for plant histology and related methods that will serve as a foundation for plant scholars, researchers, and teachers in the plant sciences.​

Plant Abiotic Stresses Physiological Mechanisms Tools and Regulation by A. Hemantaranjan Pdf

Plant Physiologists have to certainly sort out the insufluciency of consequential researches, genuinely required for getting higher productivity, opulence and sustainability of agriculture through outstandingly promising technologies to help improvement in metabolic boundaries necessitates mainly for abiotic stress factors. The aspiration is to make stronger the vital outcome of conscientious research coupled principally with thorough perceptions of underlying mechanisms of plant tolerance under changing environments. Nevertheless, appropriate strategies by relevant ideas of paramount importance could ensure food production under extremes of stressful conditions geographically varying from one place to another. The book entitled Plant Abiotic Stresses: Physiological Mechanisms, Tools and Regulation has substance for extending simple and applied researches for their rapid applications in agriculture besides broadening knowledge of the abiotic stress science far and beyond. On the other hand, with loo ming third decade, stress physiology research has almost surpassed the fundamentals globally and has been entirely intriguing to scrutinize the physiological and molecular bases of plant stress tolerance. At this decisive point in time, hopefully, this book, in part, could be a step forward in providing enough insight on stress causing multiple environmental components and to obtain favourable directions in several ways. All possible research initiatives have been sensibly included in exceptionally well written chapters by genuinely dedicated eminent contributors with a view to organize the burning theme of the present scenario being acknowledged resolutely by the world scientists.

Ecology Workbook by R. Misra Pdf

The workbook is based on the concept of ecosystem, the structural and functional unit of ecology. The main contention of the author to provide better understanding and evaluation of the flow of energy and cycling of water and minerals to the three major plant ecosystems viz. grass, forest and freshwater. The exercises are given separately for each of the three ecosystems. During their exercise the are likely to reveal the biological basis of organic productivity. The exercise presented in the workbook will lead to better comprehension of the concept of ecosystems. First practice of the exercise on grassland and the laboratory which is likely to equip the worker with knowledge and confidence to move on to the forest or the freshwater areas for study. The other corresponding topics of the three ecosystems has the advantage of comparing and bringing the structural and functional differences between the ecosystems. The work book is useful for under graduates, post graduate students and researcher of Ecology, Botany, Zoology and Environmental Studies.
