Exceptionally well-documented accounts of physiological aspects for sustainable crop yield, successfully edited by Professor Abbas, Dr. Pradeep Kumar, and Dr. Ajay Kumar Tiwari. The book will have an extensive impact on the field of crop physiology. In this rich and comprehensive documentation, different authors have contributed in view of providing the scope to explore various modern trends for sustainable crop production focusing on human welfare. The perfect sequence of the chapters, including neat and clean illustrations as well as relevant references throughout, remarkably reveals a convincing and delightfully readable narrative. . . . Future efforts along these notions and objectives would certainly provide new insights into the sequential development of fascinating tools for sustainable crop production. â ¨-Sanjay Mishra, Professor and Dean, School of Biotechnology, IFTM University, Moradabad, UP, India
