Synopsis "Mineral Nutrition of Plants and Animals"
""Mineral Nutrition of Plants and Animals"" is a comprehensive guide to the role of minerals in the growth and development of both plants and animals. Written by Frank Albert Gilbert, a renowned American plant physiologist, this book covers the essential minerals required by plants and animals, including their functions, sources, and deficiencies. The book begins by introducing the basic concepts of mineral nutrition, including the classification and distribution of minerals in soil and water. It then goes on to discuss the role of minerals in plant growth and development, including their functions in photosynthesis, respiration, and nutrient transport. The book also covers the effects of mineral deficiencies and toxicities on plant growth and development, as well as strategies for managing these issues.In the second part of the book, Gilbert turns his attention to animal nutrition, covering the essential minerals required by various animal species, including their functions, sources, and recommended dietary allowances. He also discusses the effects of mineral deficiencies and toxicities on animal health and productivity, as well as strategies for managing these issues in livestock and companion animals.Throughout the book, Gilbert provides a wealth of scientific evidence and practical advice for anyone interested in understanding the role of minerals in plant and animal nutrition. Written in a clear and concise style, ""Mineral Nutrition of Plants and Animals"" is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in agriculture, animal science, and plant physiology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
