History Of Agriculture
$135.00
Agriculture began independently in different parts of the globe and included a diverse range of taxa. At least eleven separate regions of the Old and New World were involved as independent centers of origin. The development of agriculture about 12,000 years ago changed the way humans lived. They switched from nomadic hunter- gatherer lifestyles to permanent settlements and farming.

Pests And Diseases
$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.

Introduction To Agroecology: Principles And Practices
$135.00
Agroecology is defined by the OECD as "the study of the relation of agricultural crops and environment." Dalgaard et al. refer to agroecology as the study of the interactions between plants, animals, humans, and the environment within agricultural systems. Francis et al. also use the definition in the same way but thought it should be restricted to growing food.

Organic Farming and Gardening: Systems and Approaches
$135.00
Organic farming – an alternative agricultural system that relies on fertilizers of organic origin such as compost, manure, green manure, and bone meal and places emphasis on techniques such as crop rotation and companion planting. Biological pest control, mixed cropping, and the fostering of insect predators are encouraged. In general, organic standards are designed to allow the use of naturally occurring substances while prohibiting or strictly limiting synthetic substances.

Agriculture In Society
$135.00
Agrarian societies are dependent upon agriculture and have been around for more than 5,000 years. Imagine a society of farmers and you'll have a pretty good idea of what an agrarian society is all about. An agrarian society is a society whose economy and wealth are primarily based upon agriculture. Agrarian societies have been around for at least five thousand years. In fact, they still exist today. Nearly every civilization has spent some time as an agrarian society. The ancient Egyptian, Indian, Chinese, and Mayan societies were agrarian. Today, the poorest of the lesser-developed countries are pretty much agrarian societies.
