The range of pressures affecting farmers has increased significantly in recent times. Produce must meet escalating quality requirements, while competition demands heightened productivity. At the same time, the community demands that farmers maintain the natural resource base of the land of which they are custodians and that they minimize chemical treatments and fertilizers. Principles of Field Crop Production concentrates on today's principles of farming and addresses the issues of raising productivity and environmental management. The book also endeavors to put crop production in a broader perspective by addressing issues such as socioeconomic aspects and crop improvement. This third edition updates information on numerous crops, and provides new insights into farming systems and modern breeding methods such as genetic engineering. The text continues to fill an important role for students of agronomy and their teachers. It is also an important reference book for research workers and for others involved or interested in agriculture.

This book deals with the concepts and methods related to crop production. It talks in detail about the various techniques used in this field. Crop production refers to that branch of agriculture, which deals with the growth and cultivation of crops keeping in mind their use as food or fiber. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies on crop production have been included in this text. Various techniques of crop production along with technological progress that have implication are glanced at in this book. Some of the diverse topics covered in it address the varied branches that fall under this category. This textbook attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into the field of crop production.

This textbook explains the various aspects of sustainable agricultures to undergraduate and graduate students. The book first quantifies the components of the crop energy balance, i.e. the partitioning of net radiation, and their effect on the thermal environment of the canopy. The soil water balance and the quantification of its main component (evapotranspiration) are studied to determine the availability of water to rain fed crops and to calculate crop water requirements. Then it sets the limitations of crop production in relation to crop phenology, radiation interception and resource availability (e.g. nutrients). With that in mind the different agricultural techniques (sowing, tillage, irrigation, fertilization, harvest, application of pesticides, etc.) are analyzed with special emphasis in quantifying the inputs (sowing rates, fertilizer amounts, irrigation schedules, tillage plans) required for a given target yield under specific environmental conditions (soil & climate). For all techniques strategies are provided for improving the ratio productivity/resource use while ensuring sustainability. The book comes with online practical focusing on the key aspects of management in a crop rotation (collecting weather data, calculating productivity, sowing rates, irrigation programs, fertilizers rates etc).

Principles of Field Crop Production is a guide to commercial crop production as it is practised in Australia. In addition to chapters on cultural practices, irrigation, climate and crop distribution, crop improvement and soils, the book also examines non-agronomic aspects, such as society,politics, and farm management, which are often overlooked in a textbook of this nature. A novel treatment of crop production is also provided, which integrates weed, insect and disease control. All chapters are written by experts in their fields. The second edition incorporates important developments which have taken place in Australian agriculture in the 1980s. Some new crops have established significant industries. Crop species have been re-evaluated to reflect their current importance. Technological advances in the areas of irrigation,crop establishment and crop protection are incorporated, as are changes in industry organisation. Concerns for the environment, particularly soil degradation, are reflected in the treatment of tillage practices and weed control strategies. Further information is provided in the many diagrams, maps and tables and the updated reference list at the end of each chapter.
