Agricultural science is a broad multidisciplinary field that encompasses the parts of exact, natural, economic and social sciences that are used in the practice and understanding of agriculture. Agriculture sciences seek to feed the world’s population while preventing biosafety problems that may affect human health and the environment.

Others feel a need to know and understand production systems in as many areas as possible, and the human dimension of interaction with nature. The present book is an effort to assess and analyse the nature of relationship between agriculture, and science and technology. Encompassing a wide range of contents, from research and development in agronomy to the current trends and developments in agriculture, it proves itself as a comprehensive manual. This highly comprehensive, easy-to-follow and up-to-date book is a must for everyone involved in the field of agriculture.
