Dr. G.K.S. Aflakpui holds a PhD from the University of Reading, United Kingdom, MSc from the University of Guelph, Canada and B.Sc from the University of Ghana. His specialty is Crop and Plant Physiology, Soil Fertility and Plant Nutrition, and Agronomy. His expertise includes participatory research, natural resource management, nutrient uptake and partitioning in crop-weed interactions using stable isotopes, physiological bases for crop-weed interactions, integrated nutrient management, adaptation to climate change, technology transfer, and science communication.This book covers key areas in agricultural science, namely crop improvement, production, response to water, nutrients, and temperature, crop protection, agriculture and human health, and animal nutrition. The contributions by the authors include manipulation of the variables and genetic resources of inheritance of quantitative genes, crop rotation, soil water and nitrogen, and effect of temperature on flowering. The rest are protecting crops against insect pests and diseases, linking agriculture landscape to recreation by humans, and small ruminant nutrition. This book is a valuable addition to the existing knowledge and is especially intended for university students and all professionals in the field of agriculture.ContentsImpact of Epistasis in Inheritance of Quantitative Traits in Crops
