A broad perspective, encompassing lucid descriptions of crop management towards higher yield and sustenance has been provided to the readers in this book. Agricultural production has a relation with physical problems which may not always be overcome by technology. However, one can see better groomed farms flourishing and consistently making greater profits as compared to similarly structured, neighboring farms under similar conditions. For every abiotic condition, it is well-known that there is a difference between the potential and observed yields, which is generally high and often could be...

This book presents a comprehensive study of Crop Production, elucidating its technology as well as methodology. Crop production depends on the proper implementation of soil, water and nutrient management technologies. Food production must be increased by around 50 percent by 2020 to satisfy the needs of the then population of nearly 8 billion. Much of the increase would have to come from amplification of agricultural production. Significance of wise consumption of water, nutrient regulation and tillage in the agricultural sector for sustainable agricultural growth and regulating environmental...
