Abiotic Stress in Underground Vegetables

Capture the future of resilient crop production with Abiotic Stress in Underground Vegetables by Milan Kumar Lal. This authoritative guide translates the science of abiotic stress — drought, salinity, temperature extremes, waterlogging and nutrient imbalance — into practical strategies for root, tuber and bulb crops that feed millions worldwide.

Readable yet rigorous, the book blends plant physiology, breeding insights and field-level management to help agronomists, breeders, extension workers and progressive growers build climate-resilient production systems. Case studies and region-specific recommendations make it especially relevant for growers in South Asia, Africa and temperate zones, while research-backed approaches appeal to university researchers and policy planners focused on sustainable food security.

Learn how to diagnose stress symptoms early, select tolerant varieties, optimize irrigation and soil health, and apply cost-effective cultural practices to protect yields. Emphasis on scalable solutions — from smallholder farms to commercial operations — ensures the content is both practical and adaptable across diverse agroecological zones.

Whether you’re improving root crop productivity in monsoon-prone fields or reducing salinity impacts in arid regions, this book equips you with actionable knowledge to mitigate risk and enhance crop quality. Clear diagrams, evidence-based recommendations and future research directions make it a must-have reference for anyone committed to resilient underground vegetable production.
