The chapters of the book have been selected and arranged in such a manner as to lead the students through the entire gamut of rainfed agriculture supported by suitable examples and diagrams. The topics covered are most relevant in view of growing interests in rainfed agriculture technologies. The focus is on new concepts and approaches in dryland and rainfed lands; rainfed farming-introduction, characteristics, distribution and problems; efficient management of rainfed crops; water harvesting and moisture conservation; study of mulches and antitranspirants; principles of intercropping; concept of watershed resource management; drought and its management; soil erosion-definition, nature and extent of erosion; stress physiology; scope of agro-horticultural, agro-forestry and silvi-pasture in dryland agriculture etc.Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This title is co-published with NIPA.

The textbook Principles of Organic Farming provides extensive and comprehensive information on various aspects of organic farming, including its definition, characteristics, and fundamental principles. The book also covers the history of organic farming and the initiatives taken to promote organic agriculture, as well as the concepts of organic ecosystems, nutrient management, weed management, insect management, and disease management. It also delves into the requirements for organic production, national programs for organic production and certification, and food processing and handling. Additionally, the book covers organic postharvest handling, economic considerations, marketing, and export of organic products, organic farming in dryland areas, integrated organic farming systems, and good agricultural practices and their strategies. The book also includes lessons learned from organic farming.

The chapters of the book have been meticulously selected and organized in a manner that guides students through the entire spectrum of rainfed agriculture, supported by relevant examples and illustrations. The topics covered are highly pertinent, given the growing interest in rainfed agriculture technologies.The book focuses on new concepts and approaches in dryland and rainfed lands, including rainfed farming-definition, characteristics, distribution, and problems; effective management of rainfed crops; water harvesting and moisture conservation techniques; the study of mulches and antitranspirants; principles of intercropping; watershed resource management principles; drought and its management; soil erosion-definition, extent, and nature of erosion; stress physiology; and the scope of agro-horticultural, agro-forestry, and silvi-pasture in dryland agriculture, among other topics.The primary objective of this book is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of rainfed agriculture and the latest technologies and practices that can be applied to improve crop yields and sustainability in rainfed environments. The book also aims to serve as a valuable resource for researchers, extension workers, and other stakeholders involved in rainfed agriculture.

The book's chapters have been carefully organized to guide students through the full range of rainfed agriculture, with relevant examples and diagrams provided to illustrate key concepts. The topics covered are highly pertinent given the growing interest in rainfed agriculture technologies.The content focuses on innovative approaches to managing dryland and rainfed lands, including an introduction to rainfed farming, its characteristics, distribution, and associated challenges. Additionally, the management of rainfed crops, water harvesting and moisture conservation, the use of mulches and antitranspirants, principles of intercropping, watershed resource management, drought management, soil erosion, stress physiology, and the potential for agro-horticulture, agro-forestry, and silvi-pasture in dryland agriculture are all explored in depth.

This book comprehensively covers the entire curriculum for the civil services examination administered by the Union Public Service Commission and State Public Service Commissions. The chapters have been organized in a subject-specific manner to ensure complete coverage of the agriculture paper syllabus. The book encompasses all the subjects, such as agronomy, forestry, plant breeding, soil science, horticulture, vegetables, entomology, pathology, extension education, economics, genetics, seed technology, and plant physiology.
