This volume discusses the possible improvement of forage production for livestock in areas with limited irrigation water and, sometimes, land. It is written in two parts; the first provides some basic elements of forest yield formation; the second gives details of five crops plus pastures selected because of their wide distribution or recommendations for use. The book mainly deals with crop agronomy, such as soil management, crop selection, input scheduling, and forage quality; as well as examining the physical processes, such as climate factors, crop-water functions, low water quality, and irrigation methods.Serving as a useful reference book, this volume will be of great value to research workers, farmers, teachers, extension and advisory agents and senior students of agriculture and animal science.
The tenth volume of Water-in-Plants Bibl iography includes papers in al I fields of plant water relations research which appeared during the year 1984 - from theoreti cal considerations about the state of water in cel Is and its membrane transport to drought resistance of plants or physiological significance of irrigation. In addition to papers devoted entirely to plant water relations, papers on other topics are in cluded if they contain data on plant hydration level, water vapour efflux, rate of water uptake or water transport, etc., or if they contain valuable methodological in formation (measurement of selected microclimatic factors, soi I moisture etc.). We have tried to cover fully the relevant papers which have been publ ished in important scientific periodicals and books. Articles appeared in local journals, mimeographed booklets, abstracts of thesis and of symposia contributions, etc., were chosen mostly from reprints received directly from authors. The courtesy of those is highly appreciated. The manuscript is usually prepared in May and June of the year fol lowing the year which it covers. Unfortunately some reprints come later and thus the respective references appear in the fol lowing volume, with one year delay. To maximize the value of the bibl iography the references are arranged alphabetic ally according to the authors' names, and each volume is provided with three indexes.
Professor de Wit's valedictory address is included.
