Description
Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized as a leading reference and a first-rate source for the latest research in agronomy. As
always, the subjects covered are varied and exemplary of the myraid of subject matter dealt with by thislong-running serial.
Volume
89 contains six comprehensive and timely reviews. Chapter 1 presents a thorough coverage of wet chemistry and state-of-the art
molecular scale techniques, such as x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies, that
can be used to characterize phosphorus in organic wastes. Chapter 2 discusses the Wheat Genetics Resource Center that has served the
scientific community for 25 years. These resources have been useful to scientists in 45 countries and 39 of the states in the U.S. Chapter
3 covers various aspects of the biology and management of Stevia, a sweet herb of Paraguay. Chapter 4 is a timely review of aspects of
soil fertility decline in the tropics as assessed by soil chemical measurements. Chapter 5 covers nematode interactions and assessment
of models for their control on crop plants. Chapter 6 presents data and algorithms on ammonia emission form animal operations, a current
area of much interest in the area of environmental quality.
