This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La colección La horticultura es una ciencia que avanza a pasos agigantados en todos los ámbitos que la componen. El conocimiento que existe sobre esta ciencia y arte es muy amplio y variado. Esto hace que sea muy difícil encontrar compendiada en un solo texto, toda y la suficiente información que puede demandar un lector concreto. Por eso hace falta una definición del tramo de interés particular, este puede variar entre el simple aficionado cuya única pretensión es tener la satisfacción de producir sus propias hortalizas para autoconsumo, hasta el profesional que controla y asesora un cultivo al que se le exige la máxima productividad con los menores insumos posibles de una forma sostenible y no contaminante. Esta colección que se presenta, pretende ser manuales prácticos que permitan el cultivo con un adecuado manejo que conduzca a un rendimiento final aceptable, pero sin renunciar a cierto rigor que necesitaría un científico, técnico o agricultor profesional. Este Manual Este manual está dirigido al productor que utiliza la hidroponía y técnicas de cultivo sin suelo, ya sea a nivel profesional o principiante, cuidando el rigor necesario para el éxito productivo con la máxima eficiencia y sostenibilidad ambiental. Se describen tanto las infraestructuras sencillas o complejas que se puede utilizar y diseñar, como los fundamentos y manejos que garantizan el correcto crecimiento y rendimiento de las plantas cultivadas en estos sistemas. El propietario, responsable o supervisor de una producción agrícola encontrará suficiente información y métodos para evaluar si se aplican los criterios adecuados en su instalación. A su vez quien se inicie en estas técnicas podrá profundizar en esta ciencia y técnica descubriendo las claves y normas para obtener favorables resultados. Los esquemas, figuras y fotografías permitirán entender al lector los fundamentos básicos que completan la descripción de los sistemas y fundamentos que rigen estas técnicas. Miguel Urrestarazu Gavilán es Dr. en Ciencias Biológicas, completa su formación y estudios de ciencias y biología a principio de los años ochenta en la Universidad de Granada, terminando su doctorado en Agricultura Protegida en la Universidad de Almería a principios de los noventa, desde entonces hasta la actualidad ha realizado sus labores de investigación y docencia en sistemas de cultivo sin suelo e hidroponía en la universidad y continuado su labor profesional y docente por prácticamente los cinco continentes. Es autor de múltiples libros, capítulos de libros y artículos científicos de investigación, actividad que se realiza tanto en el plano de divulgación y transferencia al sector productivo, como en revistas de primera fila en el ámbito de la horticultura científica internacional respetuosa con el medio ambiente. Se trata de un autor polifacético que aborda y resuelve tanto los problemas de complejidad científico-técnica como versátil para explicar problemas prácticos difíciles con una didáctica accesible a personas que no están necesariamente iniciadas en el mundo de la hidroponía.

Download or read book Plant Nutrition of Greenhouse Crops written by Cees Sonneveld and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenhouse cultivation is noted for its high uptake of minerals, consistent climatic conditions, exclusion of natural precipitation and control of salt accumulation. Acknowledging that plant nutrition in greenhouse cultivation differs in many essentials from field production, this volume details specific information about testing methods for soils and substrates in a greenhouse environment. It does so while offering a universally applicable analysis. This is based on the composition of the soil and substrate solutions, methods for the interpretation of tissue tests, and crop responses on salinity and water supply in relation to fertilizer application. Fertilizer additions, related to analytical data of soil and substrate samples, are presented for a wide range of vegetable and ornamental crops. The subject is especially apt now as substrate growing offers excellent possibilities for the optimal use of water and nutrients, as well as the potential for sustainable production methods for greenhouse crops.

This volume brings together existing experiences as well as suggestions for planning future sustainable cities.
Download or read book Transport in Plants I written by M.H. Zimmermann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When WILHELM RUHLAND developed his plan for an Encyclopedia of Plant Physiol ogy more than three decades ago, biology could still be conveniently subdivided into classical areas. Even within plant physiology, subdivisions were not too difficult to make, and general principles could be covered sufficiently in the two introductory volumes of the Encyclopedia on the physical and chemical basis of cell biology. But the situation changed rapidly even during the 12-year publication period of the Encyclopedia (1955-1967). The new molecular direction of genetics and structural research on biopolymers had an integrating effect on all other biological fields, including plant physiology, and it became increasingly difficult to keep previously distinct areas separated. RUHLAND'S overall plan included 18 volumes and about 22,000 pages. It covered the entire field of plant physiology, in most cases from the very beginning. But, as each volume appeared, it was clear that its content would soon be outdated.

Download or read book Cities and Agriculture written by Henk de Zeeuw and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As people increasingly migrate to urban settings and more than half of the world's population now lives in cities, it is vital to plan and provide for sustainable and resilient food systems which reflect this challenge. This volume presents experience and evidence-based "state of the art" chapters on the key dimensions of urban food challenges and types of intra- and peri-urban agriculture. The book provides urban planners, local policy makers and urban development practitioners with an overview of crucial aspects of urban food systems based on an up to date review of research results and practical experiences in both developed and developing countries. By doing so, the international team of authors provides a balanced textbook for students of the growing number of courses on sustainable agriculture, food and urban studies, as well as a solid basis for well-informed policy making, planning and implementation regarding the development of sustainable, resilient and just urban food systems.

Download or read book Carrot City written by Mark Gorgolewski and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carrot City is a collection of ideas, both conceptual and realized, that use design to enable sustainable food production, helping to reintroduce urban agriculture to our cities. Focusing on the need and desire to grow food within the city to supply food from local sources, the contributions of architecture, landscape design, and urban design are explored. Forty projects demonstrate how the production of food can lead to visually striking and artistically interesting solutions that create community and provide inhabitants with immediate access to fresh, healthful ingredients. The authors show how city planning and architecture that considers food production as a fundamental requirement of design result in more community gardens, greenhouses tucked under raised highways, edible landscapes in front yards in place of resource-devouring lawns, living walls that bring greenery into dense city blocks, and productive green roofs on schools and large apartment blocks that can be tended and harvested by students and residents alike.
