Sustainable agricultural management technologies should be investigated in terms of their capacity to boost productivity, profitability, and energy efficiency, while also reducing the consumption of agricultural inputs. To achieve this, efficiency indices and sustainable indicators should be employed. This book serves as a comprehensive source of information on the efficiency indices and sustainability indicators employed in various branches of agricultural management research, such as nutrient, water, and weed management, cropping and farming system studies, meteorological and crop physiological studies, and economic assessments of management techniques. The book has been divided into ten chapters to ensure that all aspects of sustainable agricultural management are covered. It is intended for teachers, students, researchers, policy makers, and extension workers who are engaged in agricultural management research strategies.

The Agricultural systems have encountered various kinds of ecological and environmental problems due to the growing pressure of human population on the carrying capacity of land and the productivity. There is no scope for horizontal expansion of land for food, feed and fibre production. Only vertical expansion is possible by integrating appropriate farming component, requiring less space and time while ensuring periodic income to the farmers. The ultimate goal of sustainable agriculture is to conserve the natural resource base, protect the environment, and enhance the health and safety of human population over a longer period, which can be achieved by proper understanding the science behind farming system – principles and practices. The book on Farming system- principles and practices brings the comprehensive information about the definition and classification of cropping system, plant interactions in cropping system, agronomic requirements of cropping system, evaluation indices, importance of forages, classification of feeds and forages, cultivation of forage crops, forage quality, fodder preservation, forage seed production, importance of farming system, farming system research, concepts, objectives, steps and characteristics of farming system research, integrated farming system for different agroclimatic zones, crop and animal waste utilization, enterprises in farming system, interactions of components, evaluation of farming system research under major chapters viz., cropping system, forages and farming system. Thus, this book will definitely serve as a reference book for the agricultural students, extension personnel, scientists and policy makers.
