“A great source of information for readers interested in forage crops . . . A detailed account of forage crops . . . The books are a great read for people involved with fodder production and for people practicing sustainable agriculture, who can explore dual-purpose cropping allowing them to cultivate food and fodder together. The reader is introduced to very effective cultivation methods including intercropping as well as agronomic management, post harvesting technologies, and storage and packaging of fodder. . . . Useful for researchers and ecologists conducting studies on forage crops, especially focusing on the impact of climaie change on crops.”—Economic Botany, 2019, review by Anbreen Bashir, Harris-Stowe State Univesity, Missouri, USA“A good compilation of all the important forage crops. Scattered information on various aspects of forage crops, including varieties, botanical details, cultural practices, pest-disease problems, climate change, etc., has been nicely compiled in one place. The information provided is aptly compiled and put together. The book provides a handy guide to all the stakeholders, including policyplanners, students, teachers, dairy owners, and forage growers.”—Dr. Ajoy Kumar Roy, FNAAS, MNASc, FRMSI, FISG, Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute
