Soil constraints on crop production

Globally, over two thirds of soils are affected by physical, chemical, or biological soil constraints.

These constraints cause significant yield loss, and, as such, identifying appropriate management strategies is crucial to ensure future world food production.

In order to help agricultural researchers and practitioners better understand soil constraint management, this book comprehensively outlines the occurrence of the major soil constraints and the most appropriate strategies to manage these for sustainable food production.

Importantly, it brings together experts from major agricultural regions globally to highlight approaches with the most success in different environmental and socioeconomic regions worldwide.
