This book provides an in-depth exploration of the STICS soil-crop model, a sophisticated tool designed to simulate cropping systems. It offers a comprehensive conceptual framework, equations, and practical applications of the model, which integrates soil and crop processes to assist in agricultural management and decision-making. The book covers various aspects of the model, including plant phenology, growth dynamics, nutrient uptake, yield formation, and interactions with environmental factors such as climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. It aims to aid researchers, agricultural scientists, and policymakers in understanding and optimizing crop management practices. The authors discuss the evolution of cropping systems models, emphasizing their role in addressing contemporary agricultural challenges.

"Soil Management for Sustainable Agriculture: New Research and Strategies explores the various soil management techniques and the latest improvements in soil management. Taking a sustainable approach, the volume begins with an overview of the elementary concepts of soil management and then delves into new research and novel soil management tools and techniques. Key features: Explains how clays are a critical component in sustainable agriculture with respect to carbon sequestration in conjunction with its interaction with soil enzymes Discusses potential utilization of microbes to mitigate crop stress Presents resource conservation technologies and prospective carbon management strategies. Covers the use of smart tools for monitoring soils Shares a number of nutrient management approaches Explores nanotechnological interventions for soil management Presents techniques for the remediation of soils contaminated by metals and pesticides The recommendations and future research directions presented in this valuable book will be helpful to students, researchers, farmers, and policymakers from the disciplines of agronomy, soil science, and natural resource management around the world"--

Depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'agronomie est devenue une discipline scientifique et technique à part entière, qui appuie le raisonnement des pratiques de production végétale. Conçue initialement comme application de la chimie agricole et de la physiologie végétale, elle a développé ses propres concepts et étendu son domaine, en intégrant les savoirs issus de nombreuses autres disciplines. Elle s'est aussi construite en étudiant les pratiques des agriculteurs et des autres acteurs de l'espace rural. Ces évolutions lui ont permis de renouveler son utilité, en répondant aux nouveaux enjeux auxquels l'agriculture n'a cessé d'être confrontée. Comment s'est opérée cette construction ? Quels en ont été les processus, les étapes et les acteurs ? En analysant la manière dont l'agronomie s'est façonnée en France, du milieu du XXe siècle à nos jours, La Fabrique de l'agronomie vise à éclairer l'avenir et à susciter des réflexions utiles sur les conditions de son développement dans les prochaines décennies. Cet ouvrage sur l'évolution de la discipline s'adresse notamment aux agronomes de tous métiers confrontés aux défis à venir, qu'ils soient étudiants, actifs ou retraités.
