PLANT NUTRIENTS BIOCHEMISTRY, LIGHT SOLAR ENERGY: With one chapter each on beans, peas and sweet corn | For all who like the nature | Over 74 colored tables, pictures and graphs | Format 6x9 inches

How do plants feed themselves? What happens inside their cells? And how are nutrients, light, soil life and solar energy interconnected?This comprehensive and practice-oriented book by Beat Bachmann, featuring over 74 full-color diagrams and illustrations, guides readers step by step through the fascinating world of biochemistry, plant physiology and solar energy. This book is bridging scientific fundamentals with real-world natural practice. From the basics of plant nutrition, photosynthesis to modern approaches in agri-technology, such as plant sensors. The book provides a clear and structured understanding of how plants truly function.The roles of macro- and micronutrients and many more are explained in an accessible and practical way. Their interactions and their impact on crop yield, quality, and resilience are illustrated with real-world examples.Beyond classical nutrition concepts, the book explores the energy processes of plants, from photosynthesis and the ATP/ADP energy cycle to an insightful comparison with modern photovoltaic technology.A special innovation-focused section introduces advanced glass and light-filter technologies that selectively direct light wavelengths to optimize plant growth while simultaneously generating electricity. Demonstrating how future technologies and natural systems can work together.HighlightsClear and accessible introduction to plant physiology and plant nutritionDetailed explanations of macro- and micronutrients with practical examplesOver 74 full-color diagrams and illustrations to support understandingA unique link between biochemistry, photosynthesis, and solar energy. Were biology meets technologyIn depth chapters on soil life, microbiology, pH, nutrient antagonisms, and sustainable fertilizationFocused crop insights on beans, peas, and corn / sweet cornWhether used in academic studies, greenhouses, or in the field, this book offers an inspiring and practical journey into the world of plants. Deepening knowledge and strengthening awareness of sustainable food production systems.Ideal for farmers, agronomists, agricultural advisors, students, and all those who want to truly understand plants and not just grow them.An essential reference for anyone seeking to move beyond cultivation and gain a deeper understanding of plant life.
