The problem of protein content in agricultural products is a key factor both in ensuring food security and in the efficiency of feed production. For an agronomist, understanding the biochemical processes of protein compound formation in plant tissues and grain allows for the optimization of mineral nutrition systems and the adjustment of agrotechnical practices depending on the growing season phases of the crops. The quality of plant raw materials directly depends on the balance of nitrogen nutrition, environmental conditions, and the genetic characteristics of the cultivated cultivars, which makes the control of protein composition an integral part of modern crop production.
This compilation brings together materials that reveal the role of protein in agronomic practice. Readers will find information here on the economic importance of cereal and grain legumes, including lentils and perennial grasses, and will also learn about methods of laboratory protein analysis and quality control of products in livestock and poultry farming. The articles cover a wide range of issues: from the fundamental principles of agrochemistry and the influence of nutrients on the chemical composition of the harvest to practical accounting and quality control techniques necessary for evaluating the efficiency of agricultural production.
