Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When one is privileged to participate long enough in a professional capacity, certain trends may be observed in the dynamics of how challenges are met or how problems are solved. Agricultural research is no exception in view of how the plant sciences have moved forward in the past 30 years. For example, the once grand but now nearly forgotten art of whole plant physiology has given way almost completely to the more sophisticated realm of molecular biology. What once was the American Society of Plant Physiologists’ is now the American Society of Plant Molecular Biology; a democratic decision to indemnify efforts to go beyond the limits of the classical science and actually begin to understand the underlying biological basis for genetic regulation of metabolic mechanisms in plants. Yet, as new technologies open windows of light on the inner workings of biological processes, one might reminisce with faint nostalgia on days long past when the artisans of plant physiology, biochemistry, analytical chemistry and other scientific disciplines ebbed and waned in prominence. No intentional reference is made here regarding Darwinism; the plant sciences always have been extremely competitive. Technology is pivotal. Those who develop and/or implement innovative concepts typically are regarded as leaders in their respective fields. Each positive incremental step helps bring recognition and the impetus to push a scientific discipline forward with timely approaches to address relevant opportunities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production of crops is directly connected with tillage systems and this tillage system is also helpful for reduction of cost of crop production. Therefore, cropping system may be regulated with the changes of tillage operations. Now-a-days, zero tillage, minimum tillage, no-tillage paira/utera system, stubble-mulch tillage etc. are in vogue, and as a result, higher crop-production is possible, with low cost, though tillage practices differ from place-to-place and crop-to-crop. With the new ideas and concepts the new book entitled 'Tillage and Crop Production', has been written for the development of agriculture in the country, with thirteen chapters, having part - I. (i) Introduction, (ii) Tillage and tilth, (iii) Types and methods of tillage, (iv) Factors affecting tillage, (v) Tillage implements, (vi) Tillage effects on, (vii) Tillage in relation to crop production, (viii) Tillage vs. irrigation and fertilization, (ix) Tillage for crops, croppings and situations, (x) Tillage, crop production and production economics, (xi) Financial aspect of tillage-crop management, and Part - II.
