Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crop production depends on the successful implementation of the soil, water, and nutrient management technologies. Food production by the year 2020 needs to be increased by 50 percent more than the present levels to satisfy the needs of around 8 billion people. Much of the increase would have to come from intensification of agricultural production. Importance of wise usage of water, nutrient management, and tillage in the agricultural sector for sustaining agricultural growth and slowing down environmental degradation calls for urgent attention of researchers, planners, and policy makers. Crop models enable researchers to promptly speculate on the long-term consequences of changes in agricultural practices. In addition, cropping systems, under different conditions, are making it possible to identify the adaptations required to respond to changes. This book adopts an interdisciplinary approach and contributes to this new vision. Leading authors analyze topics related to crop production technologies. The efforts have been made to keep the language as simple as possible, keeping in mind the readers of different language origins. The emphasis has been on general descriptions and principles of each topic, technical details, original research work, and modeling aspects. However, the comprehensive journal references in each area should enable the reader to pursue further studies of special interest. The subject has been presented through fifteen chapters to clearly specify different topics for convenience of the readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern techniques of crop production, as well as the application of agrochemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers, have resulted in increased crop yields. Crop production systems vary with the availability of resources as well as with climatic and geographic factors. Some important crops include cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables and natural fibers like cotton, wool, silk, etc. Tillage, pest control, nutrient management and water management are commonly practiced in agriculture. Crop alteration through breeding techniques like trait selection, self-pollination and cross-pollination is practiced in modern agriculture to develop characteristics like improved yields, drought tolerance and pest resistance. This book highlights the central theories and practices of a stable crop production system. It also presents the modern studies and technological advances in this field. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to crop production. The content herein is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.
