Synopsis

Sustainable agriculture as a central science to solve global society issues. Mother of necessity: the soil. 1. Technology without wisdom. 2. Transgenic cotton for sustainable pest management. 3. Conservation Agriculture, a different approach for crop production through sustainable soil and water management. 3. Recurrent mass selection for routine improvement of common wheat. 4. Rotation design: a critical factor for sustainable crop production in a semiarid climate. 5. Parasitic plants in agriculture: chemical ecology of germination and host-plant location as targets for sustainable control. 8. Soil protection through organic farming. 9. Surfactants in sludge-amended agricultural soils. 10. Mineral nutrition for legume-rhizobia symbiosis: B, Ca, N, P, S, K, Fe, Mo, Co, and Ni. 11. Uncommon heavy metals, metalloids and their plant toxicity. 12. Role of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in the remediation of metal contaminated soils. 13. Phosphates for Pb immobilization in soils. 14. Cadmium phytotoxicity: responses, mechanisms and mitigation strategies.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Dr. ERIC LICHTFOUSE, born April 2, 1960, completed his Ph.D. in organic geochemistry in 1989 at Strasbourg University. After post-doctoral fellowships at Indiana University, USA and the KFA research center in Jülich, Germany, he became engaged as a soil scientist at the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA) in 1992. His study on soil organic matter and pollutants led in particular to the first determination of the dynamics of soil organic molecules in long-term maize field experiments using ¹³C labeling at natural abundance. In 2000 he founded the European Association of Environmental Chemistry (ACE) and in 2003 the Journal Environmental Chemistry Letters. He has co-edited the book Environmental Chemistry (Springer, 2005). He is currently working in Dijon for the INRA Department of Environment and Agronomy as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Agronomy for Sustainable Development. He is growing fruit trees and vegetables in his home backyard and travelling from home to work by bicycle. Eric Lichtfouse is also finisher of 10 ironman competitions, including the World Ironman Championships in Hawaii in 2006.
