Download or read book TEXTBOOK OF FIELD CROPS written by JOSHI, MUKUND and published by PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is divided into two parts, kharif crops and rabi crops, covering as many as 48 crops. It contains the latest, authoritative and readily usable information about the cultivation techniques, varieties, nutrient/water/weed management along with specific climatic/soil requirements of all the crops. It is essentially a teaching and study material as it is written conforming to ICAR syllabus, strictly considering the limitations of the students and the teachers. Information on each crop is chosen in such a way that it is readily understandable by the undergraduate students and can be explained by the teachers in 22 weeks of a semester. Unnecessary detailing and research information has been avoided. Photographic illustrations of the crops are given to enable the students to understand the morphology of the crop clearly. Related terms, concepts or recent advancements in each crop are highlighted in the box. For a group of related crops, model questions are also given to visualise the probable questions on each crop. An attempt has been made to include the latest statistics from FAO and other global and Indian sources. Points to remember given at the end of each chapter enable the students to have a quick recap of the topic before examination. Further, many general topics, related to field crops, have been covered in eight separate brief chapters, to ensure that the students understand crop-related topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the year 2050, the world's population is expected to reach nine billion. To feed and sustain this projected population, world food production must increase by at least 50 percent on much of the same land that we farm today. To meet this staggering challenge, scientists must develop the technology required to achieve an "evergreen" revolution-one
Download or read book Breeding Field Crops written by John M. Poehlman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While preparing the first edition of this textbook I attended an extension short course on writing agricultural publications. The message I remember was "select your audience and write to it. " There has never been any doubt about the audience for which this textbook was written, the introductory course in crop breeding. In addition, it has become a widely used reference for the graduate plant-breeding student and the practicing plant breeder. In its prepa ration, particular attention has been given to advances in plant-breeding theo ry and their utility in plant-breeding practice. The blend of the theoretical with the practical has set this book apart from other plant-breeding textbooks. The basic structure and the objectives of the earlier editions remain un changed. These objectives are (1) to review essential features of plant re production, Mendelian genetic principles, and related genetic developments applicable in plant-breeding practice; (2) to describe and evaluate established and new plant-breeding procedures and techniques, and (3) to discuss plant breeding objectives with emphasis on the importance of proper choice of objec tive for achieving success in variety development. Because plant-breeding activities are normally organized around specific crops, there are chapters describing breeding procedures and objectives for the major crop plants; the crops were chosen for their economic importance or diversity in breeding sys tems. These chapters provide a broad overview of the kinds of problems with which the breeder must cope.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field Crop Production: A d104-Book for Elementary Courses in Schools and Brief Courses in Colleges This book is intended to supply in convenient form general information regarding the subject of field crops, for use in agricultural schools and in elementary courses in colleges. It is in no sense a complete or exhaustive treatise on the subject, such as would be desired for regular college courses in field crops. In the author's judgment, the most effective method of presenting the subject of field crops to students in elementary courses is by the combination textbook and lecture plan, the textbook to furnish basic information, and the lecture to include such specific information as the instructor cares to give. In very elementary courses, the textbook would probably furnish the principal source of instruction. In presenting the subject of field crops to students of short or two-year courses in agricultural colleges, it is necessary, on account of the vast amount of experimental data which is accumulating and constantly changing, to devote a large part of the time allowed to the course to information of this sort, which leaves but little time for presenting the more elementary phases of the subject. A more complete and satisfactory course can, in the author's opinion, be given if the student by the aid of a general textbook can acquire these elementary facts outside of class hours.
