About the Book :- The students of agricultural economics should have clear insight and understanding of intricacies involved in agricultural sector. The developing economy characteristics in India reveal the heavy dependence of its economy on agriculture. In the post independence era, India has had some great achievements on the production side of agriculture that has given good encouragement to Agribusiness development. The Agribusiness is influenced by a variety of factors such as number of Agribusiness firms, rapport between Agribusiness firms, seasonality in agricultural production and their impact on market behaviour and government and international policies. Thus, understanding Agribusiness sector is extremely important and its success would depend on a clear and focussed vision with immaculate organizational planning. The main focus of this book is to explain the concept of Agribusiness management in simplified manner so that the students of Agricultural Economics can understand the intricacies involved in this sector and find alternatives for better development.

While engineers and surveyors are not urban planners, they are often engaged in urban development. Therefore, a high degree of competence in civil engineering specialties such as surveying and mapping, highway and transportation engineering, water resources engineering, environmental engineering, and, particularly, municipal engineering requires an understanding of urban development problems and urban planning objectives, principles, and practices. With this in mind, City Planning for Civil Engineers, Environmental Engineers, and Surveyors focuses on areas of urban planning with which civil and environmental engineers and surveyors are most likely to come into contact or conflict, in which engineers and surveyors may be required to participate, and for which engineers may be required to provide necessary leadership. The text stresses basic concepts and principles of practice involved in urban planning as most widely practiced, particularly in small and medium-sized communities. It introduces engineering students to land-use planning as a foundation for infrastructure systems planning and development. It also presents plan implementation devices such as zoning, land subdivision control, official mapping, and capital improvement programming. It describes the factors affecting good land subdivision design and improvement. In addition, the text illustrates the importance of good mapping and control surveys for planning purposes. Written from the perspective that cities are social and economic as well as physical entities, the book offers a historical context for urban planning. There are a large number of texts on the subject of urban planning, but most generally do not address in any comprehensive way the engineering problems encountered in urban planning. This book delineates these problems and stresses the importance of close cooperation between civil engineers and planning professionals to achieving effective urban planning. Armed with this information, practicing engineers and surveyors can become more knowledgeable participants in the urban planning process and more effective members of urban planning teams and governmental and consulting agency staff.

Agroecosystems in a Changing Climate considers the consequences of changes in the atmosphere and climate on the integrity, stability, and productivity of agroecosystems. The book adopts a novel approach by bringing together theoretical contributions from ecologists and the applied interpretations of agriculturalists. Combining these two approaches, the book provides the theoretical underpinning that guides scientists on what phenomena to look for beyond first-order responses in the creation of sustainable agroecosystems. This unique approach provides an interpretation of ecological insights and general theory, and then relates them to agroecosystem performance. Each section of the book combines general principles of response with an examination of the applied consequences. The authors cover the supply of resources necessary to sustain agriculture in the future and discuss the incidence of pests, weeds, diseases, and their control. They provide an understanding of how the population biology of organisms will change and the adaptations that might be possible. The book also explores plant breeding solutions and the capacity for adaptation that exists in plant populations. In addition to the full chapters, the book includes Special Example chapters that deal in more detail with specific issues. Presenting a global perspective of climate change effects on agricultural production, Agroecosystems in a Changing Climate establishes connections between the immediate effects of change and the longer-term processes that will ultimately determine the consequences for agroecosystems and therefore the potential for adaptation.

Weed Management Handbook updates the 8th edition of Weed Control Handbook. The change in the title and contents of the book from previous editions reflects both the current emphasis on producing crops in a sustainable and environmentally-friendly manner, and the new weed management challenges presenting themselves. This landmark publication contains cutting edge chapters, each written by acknowledged experts in their fields and carefully drawn together and edited by Professor Robert Naylor, known and respected world-wide for his knowledge of the area. The sequence of chapters included reflects a progression from the biology of weeds, through the underpinning science and technology relating to weed management techniques including herbicides and their application to crops, leading to principles of weed management techniques. Finally a set of relevant case studies describes the main management options available and addresses the challenges of reduced chemical options in many crops. Weed Management Handbook is a vital tool for all those involved in the crop protection / agrochemical industry, including business managers, horticultural and agricultural scientists, plant physiologists, and botanists.

ABOUT THE BOOK Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. It contributes approx 25 % of National Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In India, agricultural product is the 4th largest exported principal commodity with a share of 10 % of total exports. Over 58 % of the rural households depend on agriculture as their principal means of livelihood. Agriculture, along with fisheries and forestry, is one of the largest contributors to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In today’s scenario, agricultural marketing is necessary not only to boost India’s economy but also for the welfare of farmers. It is the economic process through agricultural goods is exchanged. Agricultural Marketing comprises of all operations involved in the movement of the agricultural produce from the producer to the final consumer. Thus, agricultural marketing is a specific part of marketing which is related to agricultural products. There are some measures taken by Indian Government to improve agricultural marketing system in India. The Government of India has introduced the regularized and controlled mandis to protect the farmers from illegal and unhealthy trading practices, gradation of agricultural produce, standardization of weights and measure, establishment of co-operative marketing societies, advertisement of agricultural marketing information, facility of warehouses, stability in price, finance facilities etc. The book “Agricultural Marketing” has been written for the graduate & post graduate management students of Indian institutions as well as for the institutions outside India who are interested on Indian agricultural market. It clearly explains the fundamentals of the subject and is designed to give an insight to the students with Indian examples. The book is written in simple language so that it can be understood by the students easily. Almost all the topics on agricultural marketing have been covered in this book. The syllabus of the various universities in India has been covered and the book will be useful for the each and every students.
