Cereal grain crops are members of the grass family that are grown for their edible and scratchy seeds. Cereals include the most consumed food articles such as rice, maize, wheat, etc. and are hence part of staple crops. Topics included in the book deal with production of cereals as well as the study of different crop patterns and farming methods. Cereal farming is universally practiced and hence, there is an abundance of techniques of harvest,...

Crop production has always been of quintessence for human civilization. Human beings have always been largely dependent on crops to secure food and fiber. Lately, even fuel has become an essential product derived from crops. There has been a steep rise in the need for crop production in recent times, driven by growing population and changing consumption habits. The purpose of this book is to present the upcoming challenges, advances and future...

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 o...
