Nutrient Management in Erucic Acid Free Brassica Genotypes Production

Plant nutrient is certainly a boon for plant growth and development. Among the nutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur and potassium are key nutrients and improve crop productivity by enhancing growth and physiological function of plant. However, it is necessary not to further improve the productivity of rapeseed-mustard and to maintain the crop quality and soil fertility lost due to excess fertilization. The present monograph deals with the origin distribution and different uses of rapeseed-mustard. The book covers the history, sources and different methods of applications of plant nutrients. Main emphasis has been given on nutrient management strategies for the improved productivity of erucic acid free genotypes. The book, comprising 119 pages will undoubtedly provide a valuable information for graduate students as well as researchers working in the field of plant nutrition.
