  Unit - 2.   part 〽️ 2 Fundamentals of crop physiology  Photosynthesis :-   Photosynthesis is a physio – chemical process in which green plants convert high energy to chemical energy (organic Compound sugar).  The chemical energy stored in the form of sugar, which are created are from water and carbon dioxide.   -  Photosynthesis is also used by the algae to convert the solar energy into chemical energy.  - Photosynthesis occurs when plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. - Leaves contains the microscopic cellular organalls known as chloroplasts.  - Each chloroplasts contains a green color pigment is called chlorophyll.  -  light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll molecules whereas carbon dioxide & oxygen enter through the tiny pores of stomata located in the epidermis of the leaves.  - Another by-product of photosynthesis is sugars such as glucose and fructose.  Photosynthesis is Occurs in :-    Chloroplasts are the sites of photosynth

 Sustainable Cropping systems GroveCulture©™: Abstract : Crop production must increase substantially to meet the needs of a rapidly growing human population, but this is constrained by the availability of resources such as nutrients, water, and land. There is also an urgent need to reduce negative environmental impacts from crop production. Collectively, these issues represent one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century. Sustainable cropping systems based on ecological principles, appropriate use of inputs, and soil improvement are the core for integrated approaches to solve this grand challenge. This special issue includes several review and original research articles on these topics for an array of cropping systems, which can advise implementation of best management practices and lead to advances in agronomics for sustainable intensification of crop production Keywords : cropping systems; sustainable crop
