Principles of Field Crop Production

This volume provides complete information on Australian commercial crop production, including discussion of cultural practices, irrigation, climate and crop distribution, and crop improvement and soils. The book also covers such non-agronomic topics as socio-political concerns and farm management. A novel approach to crop production, integrating weed, insect, and disease control is presented, as are many maps, diagrams, and tables. Now in a new second edition, this book gives readers the latest practical information on new crops, technical advances, and environmental concerns in Australia.
