Foreword
The world population today survives with insufficient nutrition whether due to lack of food or owing to less nutritious food. A number of essential elements constitute an important part of human nutrition. At the same time, there are elements that are toxic to plants as well as humans even if present in minute quantities. The crop plants suffer from two major problems of elemental nutrition: (1) accumulation of toxic metals in crop plant produce beyond the maximum tolerable limits due to increasing environmental contamination and (2) decreases in the essential element nutrition of crop plant produce over the years. The book entitled “Sustainable Solutions for Elemental Deficiency and Excess in Crop Plants” deals with the elemental nutrition in crop plants in a holistic manner and also discusses sustainable solutions for the problem. The book co
