Ebook: Zinc in Soils and Plants: Proceedings of the International Symposium on ‘Zinc in Soils and Plants’ held at The University of Western Australia, 27–28 September, 1993

This book is the most up-to-date and comprehensive review of our knowledge of the reactions of zinc in soils, the uptake, transport and function of zinc in plants, the distribution, diagnosis and correction of zinc deficiency and zinc toxicity and the role of zinc in human and animal nutrition. There are fourteen review papers written by leading international scientists.
The book will be essential reading for scientists and advisers responsible for ensuring that plant growth is not limited by zinc deficiency or toxicity and that there are optimal zinc concentrations in plants for human and animal health.
