Dedicated chapters in metrology, genetics, plant breeding, seed science and technology. Modern fields of agricultural science, including agricultural biotechnology and plant biochemistry, are illustrated through practical application-based questions to develop critical thinking in these areas.
Chapters on entomology, plant pathology, and horticulture help students understand key concepts such as important agricultural crop pests, diseases, and post-harvesting techniques. Book also covers the technical areas of agriculture science such as agricultural statistics, computer applications, and
agricultural engineering; these technical subjects often present formidable challenge during practical examination preparation. The areas of animal sciences including animal husbandry, poultry farming, agroforestry, and fishery science; are framed to provide complete coverage of livestock and aquaculture topics. The last chapters of book devoted to agricultural economics and agricultural extension to assist students in understanding various methods of communication, rural development, marketing, finance, and international trade.
