The yield potential of crops differ considerably and the recent technological advances in crops cultivation demand judicious nutrient management and to avoid yield losses arising due to nutritional deficiencies. With an aim to project the value of mineral nutrition and its management the book chapters are designed to provide an in depth information on the fundamental aspects of crops nutrition mineral nutrition their availability roles and deficiency disorders. Further the individual chapters are devoted to provide information on basic and applied aspects to understand from the practical stand point.

The other chapters provide vast information on nutrition uptake processes, nutrition availability roles of nutrition, critical levels, sampling tissue analysis and diagnosis by visual means in important agricultural and horticultural crops. Visual diagnosis in explained in detail so that students extension workers field staff will be benefited. In situ diagnosis and correction for each crop is made easy for the reader since the colour photographs depicting the symptoms are of good quality and self description.
