Perspectives for organic crop production in the tropics (Número de registro

Because of the more favourable environment for crop pests and diseases, higher decomposition rates and loss of nutrients through leaching, tropical environments would not, at first, seem to be very productive for crop production without the use of agrochemicals. However, when agrochemical use was su...
