Pests And Diseases
By Lee Palmer
$135.00
Together pests and diseases cause up to 40% yield losses every year. The animal groups of the most significant importance as agricultural pests are (in order of economic importance) insects, mites, nematodes, and gastropod mollusks. Insects are responsible for two major forms of damage to crops. First, there is the direct injury they cause to the plants as they feed on the tissues; a reduction in leaf surface available for photosynthesis, distortion of growing shoots, a diminution of the plant's growth and vigor, and the wilting of shoots and branches caused by the insects' tunneling activities.

Disciplines In Agriculture
By Willy Osborn
$135.00
Agricultural science is a broad multidisciplinary field of biology that encompasses the parts of exact, natural, economic, and social sciences that are used in the practice and understanding of agriculture. Professionals of agricultural science are called agricultural scientists or agriculturists.

Agricultural Production
$135.00
Agricultural production has always involved the exploitation of resources such as soil, water, and energy. Increasing production to feed a growing world population while at the same time conserving resources for future generations has led to a search for ‘sustainable’ agricultural methods. Farm managers must take a long-term view when making decisions about which technologies to follow and what commodities to produce while still generating sufficient profits in the short run to earn a living. Farm managers must also be aware of possible trends in climatic conditions, and learn how to adapt their production methods accordingly.

Agrarianism
By Ash Mcintosh
$135.00
Agrarianism, in social and political philosophy, perspective that stresses the primacy of family farming, widespread property ownership, and political decentralization. Agrarian ideas are typically justified in terms of how they serve to cultivatemoral character and to develop a full and responsible person. Many proponents of agrarianism revere nature (whether understood as natural phenomena or as God’s creation), respect tradition and experience, distrust ideology, and regard science and technology with skepticism. Proponents of agrarianism believe that when individuals attach themselves to farming and a rural way of life, the required labour enhances their existence. Family and locale are rooted, allowing stable associations to develop that enable people to experience, in a nonacquisitive way, the goods of a grounded community, including leisure, friendship, love, art, and religion

Agricultural Technology
$135.00
A major turning point for agricultural technology is the Industrial Revolution, which introduced agricultural machinery to mechanize the labor of agriculture, greatly increasing farm worker productivity. In modern mechanized agriculture powered machinery has replaced many farm jobs formerly carried out by manual labor or by working animals such as oxen, horses, and mules. Advances in the 19th century included the development of modern weather forecasting and the invention of barbed wire. Improvements to portable engines and threshing machines led to their widespread adoption.
