Crop Production Technology provides a systematic and practical overview of the scientific principles, practices, and innovations used in the cultivation of field and horticultural crops. Designed for students of agriculture, agronomy, and allied sciences, the book bridges traditional knowledge with modern technologies to promote sustainable crop production.
The text begins with the importance of crop production in food security and the national economy, followed by the principles of agronomy, soil preparation, seed quality, sowing methods, irrigation, nutrient management, and weed control. It then explains the growth stages of crops, cropping systems, and crop rotations, emphasizing resource use efficiency and sustainability.
Detailed crop-wise production technologies are covered for cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fibre crops, sugar crops, tuber crops, and commercial crops. Each crop is discussed in terms of its origin, distribution, climatic requirements, improved varieties, field preparation, sowing practices, manures and fertilizers, water management, plant protection, harvesting, and yield.
Special emphasis is placed on modern crop production technologies such as precision farming, conservation agriculture, protected cultivation, organic farming, integrated nutrient management (INM), and integrated pest management (IPM). The book also addresses emerging challenges like climate change, sustainable intensification, and the use of ICT, remote sensing, and drones in crop management.
Illustrations, tables, and case studies enhance clarity, while review questions and practical exercises reinforce understanding.
By combining scientific foundations with field-level applications, Crop Production Technology serves as an indispensable guide for students, extension workers, and farmers aiming to improve productivity, profitability, and sustainability in agriculture.
