⒈ Character，status and task of course
《Plant Nutriology》includes two volume, the first volume mainly introduces plant nutriology, the second introduces fertilizer. This teaching material comprehensively introduces basic theory and principle. Plant Nutriology is a science of nutriment absorption, transport, transform and utilization, as well as nutriment and energy exchange between plant and environment. Primary task of Plant Nutrition is to illuminate material process of nutriment and energy exchange between plant and environment, and rules of nutriment transit,distribute and energy transform in plant. At the same time, on the base these will offer enough nutrient and creat well condition for plant through fertilization, or through improving inheritable character of plant will adjust metabolize in plant and enhance nutrient efficiency, consequently enhancing crop output and improving product quality.
