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.
