As a science: utilizes all technologies developed on scientific principles such as crop breeding, production techniques, crop protection, economics etc. to maximize the yield and profit. For example, new crops and varieties developed by hybridization, Transgenic crop varieties resistant to pests and diseases, hybrids in each crop, high fertilizer responsive varieties, water management,herbicides to control weeds, use of bio-control agents to combat pest and diseases etc

This textbook explains the various aspects of sustainable agricultures to undergraduate and graduate students. The book first quantifies the components of the crop energy balance, i.e. the partitioning of net radiation, and their effect on the thermal environment of the canopy. The soil water balance and the quantification of its main component (evapotranspiration) are studied to determine the availability of water to rain fed crops and to calculate crop water requirements. Then it sets the limitations of crop production in relation to crop phenology, radiation interception and resource availability (e.g. nutrients). With that in mind the different agricultural techniques (sowing, tillage, irrigation, fertilization, harvest, application of pesticides, etc.) are analyzed with special emphasis in quantifying the inputs (sowing rates, fertilizer amounts, irrigation schedules, tillage plans) required for a given target yield under specific environmental conditions (soil & climate). For all techniques strategies are provided for improving the ratio productivity/resource use while ensuring sustainability. The book comes with online practical focusing on the key aspects of management in a crop rotation (collecting weather data, calculating productivity, sowing rates, irrigation programs, fertilizers rates etc).

Agronomy is the field of science that takes into account a more holistic and integrated view of the agriculture and all the important fields related to it. It encompasses soil classification, crop rotation, irrigation and drainage, plant physiology, plant breeding, soil fertility, weed control, insect and pest control. Crop science on the other hand focuses on the effects of drought, water use efficiency, effect of temperatures on crops, mineral deficiency and toxicity stress and to reduce them. These are overlaping fields as they both concentrate on crops. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the disciplines of agronomy and crop science and how such concepts have practical applications. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of these fields are examined in detail. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included in this book. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this field. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
