Aimed at improving agricultural production by providing a better under standing of the interaction between crops and the environment, this book presents the latest research findings on the effects of water and temperature stresses on plants in humid temperate regions. It also covers management practices and breeding programs that may reduce crop sensitivity to the vagaries of weather Notes <P></P><P>SECTION I CROP CLIMATOLOGY IN HUMID, TEMPERATE REGIONS , SECTION II YIELD REDUCTIONS CAUSED BY STRESS, SECTION Ill PHYSIOLOGICAL BASIS OF INJURY AND TOLERANCE, SECTION IV REDUCTION OF INJURY BY MANAGEMENT SECTION V REDUCTION OF INJURY BY PLANT BREEDING, SECTION VI STRESS RESEARCH IN CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS, SECTION VII RESEARCH NEEDS AND PRIORITIES</P> Subject Crops and climate -- Congresses Crops and water -- Congresses Plants -- Effect of temperature on -- Congresses Crops -- Effect of stress on -- Congresses Crops -- Wounds and injuries -- Congresses Plants, Protection of -- Congresses Crops and climate -- United States -- Congresses Crops and water -- United States -- Congresses Plants -- Effect of temperature on -- United States -- Congresses Crops -- Effect of stress on -- United States -- Congresses Crops -- Wounds and injuries -- United States -- Congresses Plants, Protection of -- United States -- Congresses Plants -- Effect of stress on -- Congresses Plants, Cultivated -- Wounds and injuries -- Congresses Plants -- Effect of stress on -- United States -- Congresses Plants, Cultivated -- Wounds and injuries -- United States -- Congresses SCIENCE -- Life Sciences -- General.
