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.
