Features: This book is a national planning textbook for secondary vocational education, written according to the basic requirements for plant growth and environment teaching in secondary vocational schools promulgated by the Ministry of Education in 2001. The book is divided into 8 chapters, covering main topics such as the structure and function of plant bodies, the effects of environmental factors on plants, plant production and light energy utilization, plant production and temperature regulation, plant production and scientific water management, plant production and soil fertility improvement, plant production and rational fertilization, as well as plant production and agricultural meteorology. Each chapter is followed by review questions, related experimental and practical training guidance. Some chapters also include reading materials, field trips, and internships to enhance students' practical skills. The entire book emphasizes the unity of plant (crop) morphology, structure, and function, as well as the unity of plants (crops) and the environment, organically integrating the basic content of several disciplines into a cohesive whole. In terms of theoretical selection, the principle of "enough for use" is followed, while practical aspects focus on "practicality." The book also introduces new knowledge, new technologies, new processes, and new methods.
