Cropping And Farming System

At present, there is no comprehensive text book on Cropping and Farming Systems and applied aspects suitable for farmers. This book will provide a comprehensive information on the subject matter and fulfil the needs of students and other professionals. This is a book containing all sorts of chapters on integrated farming and cropping systems. Though this book primarily written to serve as a text book/reference for the students of agriculture in under graduate and post graduate levels and technologists in developing organisations, it is hoped that this book will be valuable for similar groups in the third world countries of Asia and Africa. This book also serves as a valuable reference for the candidates preparing Agricultural Research Services and other competitive examinations. Professional Institutions in Soil Conservation, Krishi Vigyan Kendras and Rural Institutions and similar other Institutions would find this book very much helpful. The farmers may refer this book to practice integrated farming and cropping systems as the considerable emphasis is placed for obtaining maximum, profitable production per unit area per unit time.
