Role of Potassium in Plants

The book provides useful information regarding potassium nutrition management in hydroponic cultivation, which will help in producing quality horticultural crops. This book covers several major aspects on the topic for making it a complete and useful resource.

In any ecosystem, plant and microbe interaction is inevitable. They not only co-exist but also support each other’s survival and also provide for sustenance in stressful environment. Agro-ecosystems of many regions around the globe are affected by multi-stress. Major limiting factors affecting the agricultural productivity worldwide are environmental stresses. Apart from decreasing yield they introduce devastating impact on plant growth as well.
