Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production of crops is directly connected with tillage systems and this tillage system is also helpful for reduction of cost of crop production. Therefore, cropping system may be regulated with the changes of tillage operations. Now-a-days, zero tillage, minimum tillage, no-tillage paira/utera system, stubble-mulch tillage etc. are in vogue, and as a result, higher crop-production is possible, with low cost, though tillage practices differ from place-to-place and crop-to-crop. With the new ideas and concepts the new book entitled 'Tillage and Crop Production', has been written for the development of agriculture in the country, with thirteen chapters, having part - I. (i) Introduction, (ii) Tillage and tilth, (iii) Types and methods of tillage, (iv) Factors affecting tillage, (v) Tillage implements, (vi) Tillage effects on, (vii) Tillage in relation to crop production, (viii) Tillage vs. irrigation and fertilization, (ix) Tillage for crops, croppings and situations, (x) Tillage, crop production and production economics, (xi) Financial aspect of tillage-crop management, and Part - II. Important information on crop production. The book will be very useful for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of all agricultural universities of the country.

Pressure per unit area, non adoption of any grassland management practices and lack of resources. The books Grassland Techniques and management gives information on techniques to adopted for the study of botanical composition, ground cover, forage evolution, range condition, assessment of grassland Production carrying capacity, livestock unit, seed treatment and soil test which provides basic knowledge of various biotic and abiotic factors affecting grassland production. The details of principles and methodology of various grassland management practices including reseeding of grasses, introduction of legume, fertilizers application, control of shrubs, grazing management etc. Has also been presented chapter on fodder trees and browser, forage conservation and herbage quality presents valuable information on various related aspects of grassland improvement and management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neem is a versatile tree of Indian origin. Since ancient times, its various plant parts have been used to control domestic insects, stored grain pests, crop pests and for human and livestock medicine. Recently, these properties have been attributed to hundreds of chemicals present in this Golden tree. Being a storehouse of chemicals, with multiple uses and adaptability to diverse habitats and climatic conditions, the developed countries have been shown keen interest in this tree. Besides, the present day pesticides and nitrogen fertilizers pose several problems viz., environmental pollution and related health hazards in human and livestock insects. While neem chemicals have shown potential as pesticides and as nitrification inhibitors and do not pose these problems, moreover, neemcake is used as manure. This book will be most useful to neem scientists working in agriculture and forestry and to environmental conscious farmers of developed countries and to the educated farmers of Third World countries intending to practice Sustainable Agriculture.
