1 | FUNDAMENTALS IN AGRICULTURE AND FOOD
PREFACE
Fundamentals of agriculture focuses with the fundamental
physical, chemical,
biological, and economic principles that underlie
agricultural practise rather than the methods for producing plants and
animals.
Information about the soil, the weather, soil water, the
mechanical and structural characteristics of soil, and chemical reactions
in soils may be found by readers. The topics covered in articles on plant
biology and crop production include plant
cells and their metabolism,
plant structure, growth, development,
and yield in crop production, as
well as pasture production and use. Selected articles discuss the biology
of animals, including their environment, growth and development,
nutrition, reproduction, lactation, and animal behaviour. The ecology of
microorganisms, the biology of diseases, and the microbiology of food
are all related to the development of microbiology.
The chapters also
include agricultural economics.
