Contents in the book are organized in 20 chapters, which includes advances in production technologies of crops e.g. rice, wheat, barley, maize, pearl millet, pulses and oilseeds; sugarcane; medicinal and aromatic plants; vegetable crops; fodder crops; resource conservation technologies; management of degraded and sodic lands; soil biodiversity; farm mechanization etc. The text is adequately illustrated with tables, figures and photographs to bring out the significant findings. The book provides cutting edge scientific knowledge as well as solid background information that are accessible for those who have a strong interest in agricultural research and development and want to learn more on the challenges facing the global agricultural production systems.

Agricultural Microbiology is a book designed with adequate number multiple choice question book specially designed to improve the knowledge of students and to provide them a powerful knowledge and feedback in their progress and future opportunities. thus, primarily this book can serve as a self-assessment guide for the students who are preparing for competitive examinations specially ASRB,ARS, PRE, ICAR-NET, ICAR-SRF, ICAR-JRF etc. and secondly, meant for those who appearing for UG, PG study in agriculture colleges/ agriculture institutes/ agriculture universities etc. the main objective of this book is to help students to enrich their powerful knowledge of microbiology because it is essential for the development of students in the area of agriculture science

Based on the biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes it can be used in the pest combat strategies and bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes having biocontrol potential against plant parasitic nematodes. The book on "Beneficial Nematodes and Nematode Antagonistic Bioagents" comprises of two sections, the first section (chapter 1 to 16) deals with isolation, identification, molecular characterization, mass multiplication, formulations and shelf life of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes.The second section (chapter 17 to 24) deals with isolation, identification, mass culturing of insect host and mass multiplication, formulations and field potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against economically important insect pests.

The book covers the entire syllabus for the civil services examination conducted by UPSC and State Public Service Commission. The chapters have been arranged subject wise so as to cover the entire syllabus of agriculture paper. All the subjects viz. agronomy, forestry, plant breeding, soil science, horticulture, vegetables, entomology, pathology, extension education, economics, genetics, seed technology, plant physiology etc have been covered in the book.

This book contains quite an adequate material for seven Divisions of Horticulture, namely, Fruit science, Vegetable science, Floriculture and Landscape Gardening, Plantation crops, Spices and Condiments, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants and Post Harvest Technology.

Changing climate in micro and macro level attribute to influence and bring changes in productivity and production trend of every industry including agriculture and its ecosystem. The influence of climate change and its environmental impact on coastal ecosystem greatly influence the life and livelihood of agrarian communities and people involved in allied industries.The book has been authored with objectives of providing understanding on the environmental problems, features of coastal ecosystem, advanced strategies for environmental protection, mitigation strategies for environmental problems in coastal areas and augmenting agriculture income from coastal areas

This book deals comprehensively in all important aspects of animal genetics and breeding, nutrition and livestock management. In this book I don't pretend to claim credit for any original contribution on the subject rather than it should be viewed as a concise collection of various important topics. This book has been divided into 3 sections dealing with animal genetics and breeding, animal nutrition, livestock production and management, respectively.

The foremost objective of this book is to help the students of B.Sc., M.Sc. for JRF, SRF, ICAR NET, UGC NET, ARS, other competitive examination related to subject to quickly grasp the facts comprehensively. Present book is a collection and compilation work from various sources and has been endeavoured to include as much information as could be possible. It is realized that the coverage of material in this book is likely to be far from complete as the information available in the Agricultural Economics is enormous. In present book, we have covered multiple choice questions, contributions of economists, glossary of each sub subject of economics and abbreviations to success with limited time in various competitive examinations.

The present book has been planned with 19 chapters specified by the authors on recent techniques on bio-intensive integrated approaches of horticultural pest's management. The book attempt to made compile information's on non-chemical ways of pest management strategies including from agronomic approaches to physical, mechanical, biopesticides, biocontrol agents, biorational pesticides etc. which are non harmful to environment and economically viable. This book can be useful reference material for organic product producing farmers, researchers and students who are involving bio-intensive pest management strategies.
