Review: These are papers from the workshop held in Helsinki in December 2000. The aim of the workshop was to increase public awareness of the increased need for fertilisers for future food supplies. The book provides an introduction to fertilisers, providing information about their nature, effects, the problems of promoting their use, the economics of the industry, its changing structure, and the raw materials for future prospects. The interaction between environment, growth, nutrition, and quality performance are shown for a wide variety of crops (apples, tomatoes, strawberries, cucumbers, lettuce, onions, beans, potatoes, peppers, apricots, soursop, red beet, thyme, pome fruits, limes, Flame vines, and carrots).
