Principles of Field Crop Production
Author: J. E. PratleyPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
Principles of Field Crop Production is a guide to commercial crop production as it is practised in Australia. In addition to chapters on cultural practices, irrigation, climate and crop distribution, crop improvement and soils, the book also examines non-agronomic aspects, such as society,politics, and farm management, which are often overlooked in a textbook of this nature. A novel treatment of crop production is also provided, which integrates weed, insect and disease control. All chapters are written by experts in their fields. The second edition incorporates important developments which have taken place in Australian agriculture in the 1980s. Some new crops have established significant industries. Crop species have been re-evaluated to reflect their current importance. Technological advances in the areas of irrigation,crop establishment and crop protection are incorporated, as are changes in industry organisation. Concerns for the environment, particularly soil degradation, are reflected in the treatment of tillage practices and weed control strategies. Further information is provided in the many diagrams, maps and tables and the updated reference list at the end of each chapter.
TEXTBOOK OF FIELD CROPS

Pages : 582
Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Field and Laboratory Studies of Soils: An Elementary Manual for Students of Agriculture A supply of clean sand, and also some loam, clay and muck soil should be secured in the fall. This material should be dried, pulverized, and passed through a sieve with one eighth-inch mesh, to remove stones and sticks. The exercises are intended to furnish sufficient material for one period per week throughout the year or two periods per week for a half year. Although they are arranged in logical order, it is not necessary that the exercises should be taken up in the exact sequence in which they occur in the text. Indeed, it will be necessary for the teacher to vary the arrangement in order to adapt the study to the season and to the facilities of the school. A small working library should form a part of the equipment. For a study of soils this library should include several elementary books on soils, a collection of Farmers' Bulletins from the United States Department of Agriculture and the publications of the State Experiment Station.
