Notă biografică

Ratikanta Maiti, PhD, DSc, was a world-renowned botanist and crop physiologist. He worked on jute and allied fibers at the former Jute Agricultural Research Institute, India, and as a plant physiologist on sorghum and pearl millet at ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics). He also worked for more than 25 years as a professor and research scientist at several universities in Mexico. He was also a Research Advisor at Vibha Seeds, India, and as a Visiting Research Scientist in the Forest Science Faculty, Autonomous University of Nuevo León, Mexico. As the author of more than 40 books and about 500 research papers, he won several prestigious international awards. Dr. Maiti died in 2019.
Humberto González Rodríguez, PhD, is a faculty member at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Facultad de Ciencias Forestales (School of Forest Sciences), Nuevo León, México. He is currently working on water relations and plant nutrition in native woody trees and shrubs, northeastern Mexico. In addition, his research includes nutrient deposition via throughfall, stemflow, and litterfall in different forest ecosystems. He has successfully guided many theses and has handled research projects. In addition, he has published journal articles, books, and book chapters.
