This is a much needed and timely publication."
P.V. Vara Prasad, Kansas State University
"Hay and Porter have produced an excellent book, well-suited for
undergraduate teaching and for those seeking an overview of
processes contributing to crop yield. They even tell us how long
the sun needs to shine to deliver a bowl of breakfast
cereal."
Tim Wheeler, University of Reading
"Although described as the second edition of An Introduction
to the Physiology of Crop Yield, which was authored by R. Hay
and A. J. Walker (1989). The Physiology of Crop Yield is
completely rewritten and focuses more explicitly on quantitative
prediction of Crop growth. The Physiology of Crop Yield
contains numerous line drawings and tables, as well as 30 pages of
reference. The overall layout and design of text, tables, and
figures follows that of traditional textbooks...the text seems well
suited for an upper-level undergraduate course with a pre-requisite
of plant physiology."
Jeffrey W. White reproduced from Crop Science
"This book extensively covers the theoretical aspects of crop
physiological processes...It is useful for understanding and
interpreting agronomic phenomena and therfore clearly has a
considerable value to advanced students, teachers and scientists in
the field of agronomy, crop management and even plant breeding. The
array of literature cited is broad and also up-to-date. The Order
of presentation is logical and comprehensive overviews are
given...it remains an excellent reference that should be
recommended for any teaching of crop phsiology at the graduate
level."
