Much of the information contained in this book comes from work and research conducted by its authors and their colleagues in the Institut national de la recherche agronomique (INRA) in France. The authors feel it only fair to mention the names of those colleagues with whom they work daily and from whom they have "borrowed" a number of data (though it would be impossible to list all of them).
