Description: Industrial Crops and UsesAuthor(s): Randy Allen, Bharat Singh, Harbans Bhardwaj, Benjamin Campbell, Enrico Casadei, Louise Estabrook, Daniel Geller, Lou Honary, Murray Isman, Peter Kulakow Format: Hardback Publisher: CABI Publishing, United Kingdom Imprint: CABI Publishing ISBN-13: 9781845936167, 978-1845936167 Synopsis The demand for plant-based industrial raw materials has increased as well as research into expanding the utility of plants for current and future uses. Plants are renewable, have limited or positive environmental impact and have the potential to yield a wide range of products in contrast to petroleum-based materials. Plants can be used in a variety of different industries and products including bioenergy, industrial oil and starch, fibre and dye, rubber and related compounds, insecticide and land rehabilitation. This title offers a comprehensive coverage of each of these uses. Chapters discuss the identification of plant species with desired traits, their cultivation to obtain the needed raw materials, methods utilized in producing different finished products, current and future research in crop production and processing and the present state and future prospects for the industry. Providing the first systematic review of industrial crops and their uses, this book will be an important resource for students and researchers of crop science and agricultural policy makers.
