This text is essential for the upcoming plant scientist and should be in the book case of every graduate student involved in the study of plant nutrition. Marshner provides the in-depth look into the mineral nutrition of plants that serious students have been looking for. Topics are supported by an endless array of citations and the book is an excellent source of information for those writing literature reviews and journal articles. Marshners depth of understanding on the subject will amaze you! Recommended for graduate level students, or serious undergraduates. The depth may prove to be frustrating for the beginner.

This book was the text for a course I took in plant mineral nutrition. It is extremely comprehensive. Our professor indicated that, despite its age, it is one of the very best books on the subject.

This book covers a lot of aspects relating to Mineral Nutrition and Plant Growth,which can be a little heavy at times,for those requiring an easier read and if not fully conversant with all aspects of plant agronomy.
Would have liked the book to have had a section related to Soft Fruit and Vegetables and a little more on Plant hormones.
However this is an excellent book for those wishing to delve deeper into the science of plant growth.

The product is very concise and interestihg for the study and understanding of plant nutrition. The book is very practical and presents good subjects and practices in agronomy

I am already pleasantly used to getting what I am looking for when shopping in Amazon.
This time, I bought a book about mineral nutrition of plants for one of my classes.
The book is in excellent conditions, and it arrived in time.
No regret!

Excellent text for nutritionists, as well. I was looking for a text to help me better understand the nutrient mechanisms of plants. I wanted to better help my clients understand where nutrients lie within plants and what their role is in the growth and development of plant structure. Not the usual course, but the book greatly helped in this goal.

The text enabled me to bridge the gap between holistic nutrition and plant science. It provided me with another way to explain nutrient affinity in the human body by explaining plant development.
